I’m thinking of buying this should I not?
Using the bullion value at the bottom of the Numista page for each of those coins, I come up with 101.59 in current silver value

​Can't imagine any of those in that condition have any real value beyond the silver, but that's less important than whether or not you like them all and think they are worth it.

With the current inflation you'll probably make money on the silver value within a few months not lose it. :O
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

That is about what I pay for bulk silver if I really want it.

I factor in - Raw cost, + GST (15%), Online auction success fees (10%) and usual (10 - 20%) dealer mark ups. Gives a price around 40% over melt.

These shillings cost an average of $8.33 each and have $5.75 worth of silver in them which about 48% over melt, - GST and success fee = $6.33 per coin or some 17% over melt.
I round this up to 20% as often worn coins have lost between 1 and 5% of their weight.

However some of the coins had numismatic value.

I think anything delivered thats under 5/3 melt cost is fine in my book - but its up to you - sometimes bulk and melt silver coins can look attractive at any price.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
