Is this a good deal (spanish silver)?

The price in the add is $149 EACH and not for two. And yes, I consider that rather expensive. I do not collect the Bust coinage but you can buy much better specimens at public auction for about twice that price or less. As an example, Heritage sold a 1777 PCGS AU-50 for $230 on January 11. The coin in the image is maybe a VF and its also possible that the actual example you receive may not even grade.

I saw this in a magazine

That's a bad sign right there.

 

The ad in the link does not explain what you are getting very clearly but I do believe it is $149 for a two piece set. If you but 1 - 2 SETS it is $149 for each set not each coin. If you buy 3 -4 sets they are $139 per set and $135 per set if you buy 5 sets or more. I seriously doubt they will be as nice as the pictured coin since in the specification it says they will be in Very Good Shipwreck Condition which to me means low grade with saltwater corrosion and harshly cleaned.
