It's tricky because there is not an up to date reference book on these tokens. The definitive books are all long out of print, so not only are the values out of date, the books themselves are very hard to come by and cost a fortune when they do turn up!

Your best bet is to find a recent sale price for one somewhere... if you have an ebay account you can get it to search automatically and email you when one is auctioned, then you can see how much it goes for.

Alternatively you can search dealer's websites... the one I look at for tokens doesn't have yours, but similar penny tokens seem to cost just under £20 in VF. Google might help a bit with this...
