I have the opportunity to buy these coins for my collection. However before I spend any money, I'd like to ask your opinion about them. Are these fair prices for these coins in their condition?
The condition is pretty good on all of them although there looks to be a bit of verdigris on the 1826 penny that I would be concerned about and I'm dubious of the authenticity of the trade dollar.
For the others I would say the 1822 Irish penny is pretty cheap at the price, the Gibraltar coin is about right, and the 1806 halfpenny is about right
In my opinion, they're (somewhat) overpriced; the only ones I would personally buy at those prices are the Gibraltar quart and the Trade Dollar. But then again I'm a cheapskate when it comes to coins, so maybe they're just overpriced for my liking.
Quote: "Iainmac"Tend to agree with cass, they are all overpriced, for a total of 175 euro you could do better if you live in the U.K.
Aye, definitely true for the total and most of them; but to be somewhat fair to Neil they're not all overpriced. Assuming the trade dollar is real (can't enlarge the photos), 50 euro is not a bad price at all. Get that one.
Otherwise provenance is an important factor in availability and pricing of coins; I think you could definitely find similar ones, for a lower price in the UK, without too much difficulty.

It looks OK to me, but let's wait for some more opinions.

Thanks for your answers and opinions. I think I will buy the Trade dollar and the Irish penny.
Irish penny is a stunner, i would also buy this coin, if it was a little cheaper, excellent choice!
