No thts why im asking. Does it look off? Im not in a position i can view it so depending on what the masses say and the price on the table guides my decision

Technically its not a precious metal, but we often have fakes/copies put on for verification etc - so no problem using the gold section. If the 'coin' is 25mm in dia. less than a mm in thickness and very light its almost certainly a gaming token replicating a George III Guinea probably 1798. I have one myself as a keepsake! value = Peanuts!  Probably carried as a good-luck charm at the casino.

That's not a guinea, definite. It's a brass gaming token.

I think it's from William Charles Bagnall, these are mostly classed as gaming tokens however, really can be early advertisement pieces (as this one would be), for any one who can produce them. 

Bagnall I think was an engraver, they are collectable however the hole kills any value in this one.
