I sold 42 as a group 5 years ago. It'll require going back through some old hard drives, but I'll see what I can find.

Probably in the range 150-200.

The size and weight are correct for the official Royal Mint issue, but I'd certainly dip it.

Size & weight?

It's a well known token by Norbert Roettier. Condition wise, it's not too bad and current value is between £40-60.

Pound started to float around the start of March 71

No, I think it unlikely that yours is March, but I'm trying to find my images of the one I sold last year to check.

1970 8 coin set £8.75 1971 six coin set £8.85 I've just realised that the info comes from Krause SCWC, so substitute $ for £

Yes. Clancy button makers Dublin: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/button-makers.html

If this were a die, the lettering would be in reverse. My best guess is a button.

Has the image been reversed out for reading clarity? If not, then it isn't a die; possibly a hub.

Last year I sold a February 1689 shilling for £10.00 and a March 1690 shilling for £24.50. Both were in a slightly rougher condition than yours. It's worth noting that gun money for March 1690 is some of the rarest and for a very specific reason. At the time we used two calendars, full unification with the Gregorian calendar not coming until 1752. The legal New Year began on March 25th, so any coin minted for March 1690 had a validity of just eight days.

I'm fairly positive that it's wrong. I had one offered to me in February, in hand it felt "greasy", certainly not like silver and when I switched the scales on he suddenly decided that he really didn't want to sell it.

Looks like CCF has a membership of around 45k. Maybe 70-75% North American, so let's say +/- 33k U S collectors using that site, and there's rarely less than 1500 active users at any one minute of the day. I think that ebay would not wish to p**s off any organisation representing that many American collectors, particularly when those guys always ensure that they get their facts straight before complaining. I'm just happy that they are not as insular as other US groups and will fight to protect collectors interests worldwide.

Seems so.

And the Cromwell has been reported and removed.
