Google Lens is good. I use it all the time.

This one is a Coalbrookdale 1/2d token. The birthplace of the industrial revolution. Dalton & Hamer Shropshire 10, identifiable by the position of the obverse legend and the reverse date 1 relative to the K in KETLEY and the 9 being under the limb of L. Obverse is the bottom image. D&H rarity is scarce. If you are interested in tokens, you can get a reprint of the volume. The originals were printed in 1910 and somewhat hard to find.

I was going to reply to all these but too many to do - I'll give you the task of finding a D&H. Life is so much simpler with one as all the varieties are illustrated. Punctuation, present or missing is important, as is the position of the legend relative to itself or other features as this will determine the die(s) used and hence the variety.

For this piece: 

Milled edge will be D&H 351 - common. 

351a edge reads 'AN ASYLUM .......NATIONS' - Rare

351b edge 'BIRMINGHAM OR SWANSEA' - Very Rare.

351c edge 'PAYABLE AT LONDON LIVERPOOL OR BRISTOL.' - Rare.

 

And for any 19th century tokens you might acquire, a good reference you will find is 19the Century Token Coinage, by W J Davis.

Sorry, I will lose the will to live if I do many more. I don't have any copies of either in stock, but do have the references in an emergency and if all else fails will help. Every collector added to the list of known people in a certain field helps.

Hi Folks 

I can't thank you enough for replying you information is brilliant. If I was going to try and sell any of these where would be best. To cut a long story short my daughter is a wonderful footballer and we travel 600 miles plus a week. Instead of buying a new car I did the sensible thing ( well i thought it was ) and bought a good run around . 4 days after buying in a private sale i discovered it had been in a smash. So after correcting all the issues the turbo  failed last week also. I don't want to start using our savings.  Thanks Ryan

I recognise a few of these coins, having seen them on eBay, when looking for Victoria halfpennies.

Past sales, may give you a general idea of what they may sell for.

Although they are nice enough examples as they are, I don't think they would set the world alight in any of the specialist coin auctions. They would probably want to list them as one or two job lots to be picked up by the dealers.

Your best chance of making the most is probably Ebay. Prices to be determined by researching previous sales there. At least you have the D&H numbers, so any private collectors will pick up on the ones they want.
