GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA REX (on the obverse) tells me who the King was in Latin, it does not tell me anything about the coin, although, you can sometimes make a guess.
The full inscription usually reads "GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA REX FIDEI DEFENSOR" meaning, "King George III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith".
Variations of this inscription, some more abbreviated than others, will appear on all George III coins.
A similar inscription, suitably modified for the King or Queen's name and gender, appears on all British and Commonwealth coins.
Queen Victoria's unabbreviated title would appear as "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRITTANIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR India IMPERATOR" meaning, "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the British Territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India".

What is the value of a 1800 Georgius III Dei Gratia coin no denomination with a shield on the reverse made of brass or copper?
The only 1800 George III coins produced by the Royal mint with a shield on the reverse were the gold Half-Guinea coins. Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced. To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

What does dg mean on a Queen Victoria soveriegn?
"DG" is an abbreviation for "Dei Gratia", Latin for "by the grace of God".It's part of a longer motto that appears in various forms and abbreviations on nearly all coins of the British Empire or Commonwealth countries. It usually consists of the following parts:The name of the monarch, often but not always Latinized. E.g. Elizabeth's name is spelled normally but her father George was shown as "Georgius". Charles may appear as Charles III or possibly Carolus III when he takes the throne."DG" or a longer abbreviation followed by the Latin word for King or Queen,"FD" or a longer abbreviation, meaning Fidei Defensor or "Defender of the Faith" because the monarch is the head of the Church of England.E.g. if fully spelled out, a modern British coin would have "Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Regina, Fidei Defensor" or "Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith"When India was part of the empire the motto was modified to include the abbreviations "Britt" and "et Ind Imp". The first indicated that the monarch was king or queen of Britain, and the second that they were also emperor/empress of India.

What is the value of the 1788 Georgivs iii dei gratia coin?
You are asking about a British coin dated 1788 ("Georgius 111" refers to King George the Third). You would need to give a better description of the coin (condition and denomination, or at least a physical description of the coin's size, material, design, etc.) to get any kind of an estimation of value - it could be less than a dollar or could be several thousand. Also, there were many tokens and counterfeits - mostly copper or brass - made around that time period, so your "coin" may fall into one of those categories as well.
What coin shows Gratia Rex. The coin I dug today is 25 or 26mm in dia shows male bust facing right and the words GEORGIVS Dei GRATIA REX.?
There are only two King Georges that face to the right on British coins, being King George I (1714 to 1727) and King George III (1760 to 1820).None of them have the exact inscription you describe, the closest being - "GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA REX". The King George I coins have only "GEORGIVS REX" or a very much more elaborate, but heavily abbreviated inscription.If this is correct, the coin is either a copper Halfpenny or a Farthing. Both coins have the seated figure of Britannia holding an ornamental trident and branch on the reverse.Both were minted in 1799, but neither measures 25 or 26 mm.The Farthing has "FARTHING" inscribed at the bottom of the reverse in very small lettering.The Farthing measures 23.5mm and the Halfpenny measures 31mm.
What is the value of a 1797 Georgivs III coin with the words in memory of the good old days?
Brass tokens with the inscription "In memory of the good old days" were issued between 1787 and 1799. They typically have a bust of George III (British monarch from 1760 - 1820) on the obverse surrounded by the inscription "Georgius III dei gratia" and a Coat of Arms surrounded by the inscription "In memory of the good old days" on the reverse. Smaller pieces roughly the size of the half guinea are also common. There is some evidence that these tokens were restruck in the 1860's. They are quite common with a value of a few dollars at most, and it is possible to put together a quite attractive collection of spade guineas for a modest cost. Their exact function is not known, but it is quite possible that they functioned as gambling tokens in a manner similar to today's poker chips.
