I recently won an eBay auction for this Conder Token, paid $50 but also got a bonus gift, another Conder token, the bidding died at $50 though, so my guess is in the $40 range as this token is in VF condition.

A (British) 1789 copper "Macclesfield" Halfpenny token, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £45 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £15 to £30 GBP.

These coins were privately minted in the absence of the Royal Mint producing any small denomination coins.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

What is the value of a 1789 British Penny?

The Royal Mint produced no Penny coins from 1787 to 1791 inclusive. 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 is the value of a Department of Treasury coin of 1789?

It's not a coin and it's not from 1789. This is a token piece that's struck on a cent blank and included each year with mint sets. There's one with a D for Denver and another with P for Philadelphia. The year 1789 refers to the date that the Department of the Treasury was established. These pieces do not have the year of mintage on them they are not particularly collectible. They're worth at most 1 cent.
