A British 1806 copper Penny (George III), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £300 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £5 to £60 GBP.
NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.
British Coins were minted for hundreds of years with the obverse and reverse 180 degrees out. This is known as "coin rotation" or "die axis". The practice was gradually discontinued during the 19th century and had ceased altogether by 1888.
