I believe the answer is:

quid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'price' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'tobacco?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quid that I've seen before include "Wad of chewing tobacco" , "100p (slang)" , "that's chewed" , "plug?" , "One pound sterling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
