What is the value of an 1809 British Penny?

Answer 1

The Royal Mint produced no Penny coins from 1809 to 1824 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.

You may have a private token or medal. If you can't determine the date or other information you may need to have the coin inspected in person.

The Royal Mint did not issue a penny in 1800, a Penny was minted in 1797 then again in 1806. Pennies were minted as tokens privately in between, so a 1800 token Penny is highly probable. these vary in value depending on who issued them, but could today be worth between £1 and £200 depending on issuer and condition.
