Weight is a bit off  8.
indeed, well a little... about 2 grams. I wouldn't know the exact type of coin, but the year reads 1771.

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins
Zacuk, mine has 8.8 grams 8.
 I would not worry about weight, nor size; around that time (over 200 years ago) the measurements were not exact like nowadays - mine below is more like 28mm, for example.
 The 1/4d was 23mm (4.9g) and the 1/2d was 27mm (6.3g) and the 1d was 34mm (18.9g).
So yes 8.8g is more than 6.3g but is certainly nowhere near 18.9g, and similarly 29mm is nearer 27mm than it is 34mm. So it is a UK HalfPenny 1771 date.  :)

You are probably right,
It's not the year i want so i put it for swap/sell.
Thank you
Kenneth B might be interested in it.
