Please confirm issue price

Hi

I am trying to assemble a full set of UK 2 pound silver proofs. I still need a few but have my eye on the 2001 marconi as my next acquisition. There are two options: the UK piece alone or the combined UK and Canada set. There are a few examples of the combined set on ebay at the moment for reasonable start prices but can anyone confirm that the issue price of this set was $99 as listed here:

Marconi set

Any views on a max bid price would also be welcome
Thanks in advance

Dr J

P.S. If anyone has the bill / claim of rights set or the bank of england versions please PM me
