The date on the token looks quite indistinct to me.

Ahh, thanks for the correction. Changed it to 1837.

these are made of brass and quite readily found.
Have a look on ebay and see prices for completed sales - rather than asking prices.

Technically, they're known as "Cumberland Jacks", though most people selling them on ebay wouldn't call them that. We've seen many on this thread before; this old thread and this older thread both contain useful info on the historical event the token commemorates.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Thanks for the threads Sap! This has some pretty interesting story behind it.

Will have to be putting this up on ebay though, as I've already spent too much this month...

(It's a friend of mine whos coins I'm selling for her.)
