I bought this coin from a seller who didn't know it's origin. Neither do I. But I see the ending letters "A N G" in one photo and am guessing it's some sort of an old English token/souvenir coin.
Any help in identifying it and age and possible value greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Center of the triangle is the Mint Mark, hard to tell what it is from the view.
Its worth probably around $4-5 in that condition

Thats a pretty good one, I'm not sure about grading those. but in XF its a 180 coin.
I'd love to just have one for my random Old world collection. I'm a sucker for pre-1900 coins. The Old, the better, they have just seen so much history and change.

I found this site... http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16260.html
According to the info it provides, this type coin as you stated
was minted between 1710 and 1712. I know the date and mint
mark are mostly unreadable but on the date side, do you see
what looks like a partial 2? And on the mint mark side do you
see a partial top and right side of the "&' mint mark?
Just trying to make an uneducated guess of the coin's possible
date and mint mark for when I resell it. Thanks again for your help.
I guess these coins are pretty rare as they rate them a 62 I think
on the rarity scale.
I'm thinking since similar coins like this in just good condition
go for $100+, in poor condition I should be able to get $40 to $60
from the right collector since it is a rare 300 year old coin.

I think you'd be incredibly lucky to get more than $5 for that very worn coin.
