Not to far away but Colin Cooke in manchester.

Maybe give them a ring and ask for Lee

Stick a picture up. If in decent condition it would appeal to the US market, but if not then marginally over melt

Mounted it will only sell for melt value. i.e. the intrinsic value of the gold content.

Is it mounted? Looks like it's in a holder and only the holder is mounted

It is just a holder on a chain, no damage to coin

It could of been heavily cleaned though

I bet there will be some damage to the edge milling because the coins are never perfectly round, and even if they were would have to be sweated into the holder. Usually the edges are filed to fit.

melt IMHO sorry

So I've taken it out of the holder, although I don't know a lot about coins I have an engineering background, there are no signs of filing/damage to the edge of the coin, so back to my OP are there any recommendations of places to take this or a rough guide value for eBay?  I don't expect top dollar but do not want to be ripped off. 

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

In that case it looks as if you got out of jail.

The pictures aren't large enough to give it a grade. You will need to post images where the coin fills as much of the image as possible. Face on and not at an angle.

Difficult to say. VF or gVF, possibly cleaned? All three would have pricing implications.
