Regardless of the denomination of the coin, it's not a genuine mint issued coin.
Any reproduction of a US coin that is the same size and has the appearance of the real coin is required to have the word "copy" on it someplace where it can be easily seen. This is done to prevent the coin being represented as authentic
The word "COPY" means it's not real so the coin as no value.
This has no numismatic value at all
The word COPY means simply that - your coin is a replica, not an original, so it's only worth the value of the base metal that it's made of - perhaps a dollar or two.
Even if it does not have the word copy on it somewhere, it's likely a fake or altered 1858 Flying eagle coin, most all of the known authentic coins are well accounted for. The best thing to do is take it to a coin dealer so the coin can be seen.

The word "COPY" means it's not real so the coin as no value.

A stamped copy of a coin means that it is a replica or reproduction of the original coin. These copies are often made for collectors or for educational purposes, but they do not hold any monetary value and are not considered legal tender.
The word COPY means exactly what it says. Your "penny" is a copy made privately as a novelty piece and is not a regular mint issue. The word COPY is mandated by law for any piece that is meant to resemble a legitimate coin. Its presence is a flag to the collector that they have an artificial item, but it is legitimately made as such. All reputable manufacturers include the word COPY so they won't be charged with counterfeiting. Of course any counterfeiter would never put that mark on a piece they were trying to pass off as genuine, so it's still necessary to have "finds" authenticated. Precisely what it says - it's a copy, no doubt made for some kind of giveaway or sample set. As such it would not have any numismatic value. The good news is that whoever or whatever company made your coin followed the law by including the word COPY, so that there is no chance of misrepresentation as a genuine coin. It's exactly what it says - a copy made as part of a novelty or keepsake set. It's not a genuine coin.
A better word for copy would be imitate, simulate, reproduce, replicate, or recreate.
The word COPY means simply that - your coin is a replica, not an original, so it's only worth the value of the base metal that it's made of - perhaps a dollar or two.
You should first examine the coin to see if it has the word "COPY" on it. There have been many replicas of Continental coins struck over the years. Some were for novelty collectors' sets and others are outright counterfeits (which, of course, would NOT have the word "COPY"!) Given that, it's not likely the coin is genuine. If you want to make absolutely certain, it would have to be examined in person by someone who deals in early U.S. coins.
If it was genuine and in good condition, it might get up to £200 GBP. If it has the word copy actually on the coin, it is worthless.
Even if it does not have the word copy on it somewhere, it's likely a fake or altered 1858 Flying eagle coin, most all of the known authentic coins are well accounted for. The best thing to do is take it to a coin dealer so the coin can be seen.
Not nearly enough information to identify it.First look for the word COPY in small letters stamped into the coin's design. In that case you have a so-called replica coin that's worth a dollar or two. If you can't find the word COPY it may or may not be genuine. You would need to know what country issued it, what denomination it is, and what metal it's made from.Your best bet might be to take it to a coin dealer for in-person examination. However, it's extremely unusual for 400+ year old coins to just turn up so be prepared for the possibility that it's a copy or an outright counterfeit.Depending on the condition of the specific coin $10 to $3000.
