I got each of these coins for $.25 each at a local coin show. Can you guys tell me what condition these coins are in and possibly the selling price of them?

I think you got a great deal, period. They'd be a delight to pass to your children. As far as selling them, beauty & desire are in the eye of the beholder = whatever anyone is willing to pay. After all, you picked them up at a coin show, and those pros aren't there to give things away.

I would have picked them up too. I don't have any of those and would have gladly paid for them just to say I had one. Congrats!

I wanna go to the coin show YOU go to! They appear to be a 1723 Woods Hibernia halfpenny (considered a US Colonial-- valued around $35-40 retail in that condition); a 1773 Virginia Halfpenny (retails around $45-$55 in the shape its in). Last piece is a 1792 Kentucky Token-- the scarcest of the three (retails around $100 in shape its in). However, I might suspect if the Kentucky Token is genuine--it could be, but I could also see it being an electro copy. But at 25 cents??! You STILL got a killer deal!

I don't see any reason why all 3 coins wouldn't be genuine. Looks like you got really really lucky and fished these out of a junk box.

The Wood's Hibernia, in this condition, is worth about $20.
The Virginia Halfpenny, in this condition, is worth about $25.
The Kentucky Token, in this condition (which is very rough), is worth about $50.

I had also gotten a Connecticut halfpenny from the same box, and a friend that I went to the show with (TheButtonKing) got quite a few ancient coins for $1, one of them being in amazing shape.
