As you appear to have cleaned it to make it shine, it will probably be worth less than it was before. Cleaning coins is not recommended. You will need to post some pictures for anyone to accurately grade and hence value the coins as condition is everything, particularly for the 1742 which is rarer than the 1806 which is quite common even in high grade.

unfortunatly yes it was me who gave em a rub, you see we are doing a 16th century house up and its been abandoned for over 100 years so these were unrecognisable when they were found, if id have known id never of touched them, suppose theyre worthless now then. :(

The 1806 one would never have been worth very much even before polishing. The 1742 would have probably been worth about £10, and now it's probably about £2. If they were badly corroded with green verdigris before you polished them, then they were not worth much to start with either.
