Victoria was not Queen in 1806. If you have a coin dated 1806 with Victoria, it is a poorly executed fake. Now, if your 1806 penny has George III, that is another story.

Unless it's very worn and the 0 is actually a 6 or an 8 or more likely a 9.

To start off if its 29mm dia its a 1/2d or 35mm dia its a 1d.

If you have difficulty ID George 111 to Victoria I guess its in pretty poor shape.

Both coins are vey common.

Look at a coin which is about 10/15 years old in your change .....this will probably be in Fine to very fine condition.

If you're 1806 coin is in similar shape it could be worth £5 to £15.

Any condition lesser ie no hair detail/lettering rubbed out...greenish tinge maybe 25p tops.
