Little help would be appreciated if you can find time.

I am offered this lot for approx. $300 and have no idea if that is ok.

Looks to be all old English coins.
The top coin is Charles the Second. That's the mid to later 1600s.
His daddy Charles the First, was beheaded along with Bishop Laud, the Archbishop of Canterbury. (They both had it coming. They persecuted and imprisoned my Puritan ancestors)
It's surprising, but some of these old English coins seem real cheap. At least when compared to U.S. coins.

First coin is Charles I 2p.

The others look like Henry the something and Edward I?

Don's right with the first. 2 pence or half groat. New Style bust of King, no inner circle, mint mark bell 1634-35 a.d.

The second is a Edward I penny London mint.

Third is a Henry III id go for Class 3B not sure which mint.

The forth I'm not to sure. Definitely a short cross probably still Henry III but king John before him still had HENRICUS REX (King Henry) on his coins and they look very similar.

What I can say is the obverse is not pictured the right way up. It should look like:
