Price help-Update, FYI

I will list the 5 coins below that I need help with. This is all I know about them, haven't seen them, so I want to bid toward the low end of price range (seller says they are in 'great shape"). I have the post 1900 Krause but not for the 1800s and earlier.
1567 sixpence with large rose
1580 sixpence with small rose
1862 Victoria half penny--completed listings on ebay aren't useful
1899 Victoria 1 penny---completed listings on ebay aren't useful
1980 Queen Mother Silver Touch Piece (this has a document from Bradshaw and Darlington?)

Thank you.


UPDATE

While I was asking here, the private seller decided to list on ebay. I was asking because I found them on craigslist. I did not get either coin. I appreciated the help, though, and was in the running on one of them.
I passed on the Victoria's and Queen Mother.

    Totally depends on condition. "Great shape" means nothing to me. Links?

    Wybrit,

    Thank you for the response. I have no pics, nor any links. This is a private sale, done by mail from several states away. I know it is less than ideal. I just want to make a reasonable ballpark offer on some coins a woman recently inherited, and I will take my chances on condition. It may not be possible for anyone to give an idea under these circumstances. I'm most interested in the two coins from 1500's. I don't have anything older than 1700's.

    I would offer F prices or less for the group then. If they turn out to be nicer in hand, I would just pay more after the sale, since I don't want to take someone like that but would also not like to be taken.

    1567 sixpence with large rose - $75
    1580 sixpence with small rose - $75
    1862 Victoria half penny--completed listings on ebay aren't useful. $1-$3
    1899 Victoria 1 penny---completed listings on ebay aren't useful. $1-$2
    1980 Queen Mother Silver Touch Piece (this has a document from Bradshaw and Darlington?) - no idea how to price this one.

    Fixed link to 1580 piece

    It looks like the 1580 came in at about my estimate, but the 1567 was much nice than F, so a higher price was merited.
