A Box of Coins From a Car Boot Sale For £20 - Was it Worth it?

I went to a local car boot sale early on a Sunday morning. I bought a wooden box with some coins in it. I paid the asking price of £20. Was it a good purchase?

    The football clubs came from a set which was issued on the centenary of the FA Cup (although not the winners from the first 10 years or so when it was a mainly amateur competition and was won by such mighty clubs as Old Etonians and Oxford University). These came free with Esso petrol. The date on the other side was the year(s) that the club had won and who they had beaten in the final. I have a set but, being made from cheap metal, they are prone to corrosion
