    Try here: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/penny.html

    for British penny values - it would have been a British coin given that it was 1866. :)

    eBay might be a good place to look, or The Market Arcade off Dublin's South Great George's Street. There are also a couple of collectors shops in the Powerscourt Town House Centre that maybe worth checking out.:)

    Ebay's your best bet, there was no Irish penny in 1866 except perhaps tokens. If you can describe it we can help you out. The other option is to buy him something really nice that's Irish, I can help you out there.

    that will be hard. and exspensive

    if it had a harp on it it is a dublin token.

    Off the top of my head I couldn't think of any 1866 Irish token, but I looked it up and theres one from an Armagh spinning mill. Don't think theres any Dublin ones of that year. He must be talking about a British penny which as you say will be expensive in UNC.
