It's rather difficult to give a even a ball park value of an item without clear, close up photographs of both sides of an item.

Nice find! The 1¢ and $1 denominations are listed in Clark's Florida Trade Tokens book as $5+. The 50¢ denomination is not shown as known there or in the Wagaman Ingle book. The records of the Ingle company says that these tokens were shipped to Mitchell (who I think was Jesse M. Mitchell) in 1910. See his gravestone at:
Jesse M Mitchell (1869 - 1935) - Find A Grave Memorial
If you could post pictures, that would be appreciated. Also consider posting them on Richard's Token Database - TokenCatalog.com

Hi friend,

We are residents of New Port Richey, FL and have some information about the token. This token was used at the Mitchell Store in the 1920s. The store was owned by the Reverend
Jesse Mitchell who developed the town near us, Elfers, FL. There is a historical society that would really like to have this item. If you are interested in donating/selling it, let me know.
