Is this the right price for UK 50p

Went to a local Sunday market today and a guy selling posters and coins was asking for £5 for all the 50p coins mentioned. All the 50p coins he had were for £5. The ones listed were what I wanted.
Would you agree or not?

and
2014 Commonwealth Games

and
2016 Beatrix Potter
and
2018 People Act 1918
and
2019 Sherlock Holmes. I thought this was the only reasonable one.

​I agree with you the Sherlock Holmes 50p is the only one that is worth that price in high grade condition (I got mine from coin hunting).

The rest from just above face value to around the £2 mark. So like I said I think the guy has overpriced his coins and don’t buy from him.

I'd put all of the coins as single items on ebay for £1.20 + 80p postage , so I think that he is very expensive.

Merv.

I would not give more than face value for any 50p as the Royal Mint issue them just to trap those who are starry-eyed but whatever floats your boat

​Overpriced for modern coins and you didn't mention what condition/ grade they were in. I see there are plenty of other Brits that have the coins you are looking for and are on their swap list. Why don't you ask to swap for them?

Shiny with minimal wear & tear. XF grade

I would not pay £5 for any of those, not even for Sherlock Holmes that is not a rare coin.

I got the Sherlock Holmes coin in my change yesterday and even though it was in really nice condition, it is not worth £5.
With the lack of movement of coins over the last 14 months some 50 pence coins have not been seen by me for that time and longer, so the guy is trying his hardest to get as much money as he can for them, when he may know that they are becoming a little harder to find.

If you go on eBay, you can find various sellers listing the same coin at hugely different prices. It is then left to the buyer to decide. If the buyer wants it badly enough, he may pay a little more, because next time he sees one, the price will have risen again.
You only have to look at the Kew Gardens 50 pence. When it was first issued, you could buy an UNC coin for under £10.00, then someone realised the mintage was just over 200,000 and prices went above £100.00 over night, and still rising. Have seen one @ £400.00
