But mine is 28.5mm and 8.1g.
Mine is heavier than the one listed.
Also what is the value of the coin .

Did find this info
6 dots
Engraver: Thomas Halliday
Issuing date: 1812
Denomination: 1/2 penny
Composition: Copper
Weight: 8.5 grams
Diameter: 29 mm
Edge: Engrailed
Breton #: 960
Courteau #: 27

The lighter one is an imitation.
Hello,

You will find your Token here
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42338.html

Your Token is very worn which should account for the slightly lighter weight. Also, due to the wear, I don't think you will be able to identify the variety.

Let's grade it at VG which my Charlton Catalogue values at $7.00 cad. My 8th Edition has been superceded by the 9th, so the value may be slightly higher.

You need to have a very nice coin to expect any value...

That site says the IMITATION coin is $7.50
The 6 dot coin has no value in the fields. I read the real coin (8.5 g) is rarer.
The Tiffin 1/2 Penny Tokens are of much lighter weight, 5 - 6.5 g approximately (LC-48A, B, and C). Named after the Montreal Grocer, Joseph Tiffin, whom imported these "lightweight" Tokens about 1832. Ante-dated to avoid the law against importation of tokens into Canada.

But, I missed the 6-Jewel Pin so you have variety LC-46A2. NICE!! Still does not affect the value though. All 3 varieties are priced the same across grades VG - MS.
