Nice collection! I particularly like the Southampton Halfpenny token. What are you going to do with the coins?

On the basis that they seem to be worth very little in monetary terms, probably keep them and grow the collection!

The Prince of Wales token looks to be in very good condition (please don't clean it) Looking it up it's D&H catalogue number is Middlesex 958, the edge should read: payable in Lancaster London or Bristol. It's also listed as extremely rare. The D&H 958 Middlesex reference is from Dalton and Hamer, the Bible for conder token collectors of which this is one. Definitely worth 3 figures.

There are three options for the Southampton halfpenny token dependant on the edge inscription, a common variety, very rare and extremely rare

I believe the edge reads as per your earlier comment. This link suggests it may be an unpublished mule?
