$750 sounds low for the 1902 set? Maybe was it only the Silver? Or did it include the 1/2 and 1 SOV?
No gold
That means the set was incomplete. Even the 1902 short set had gold. $750 is a decent if not downright low price for a quality full short set including the sovereign and half sovereign. Without the gold, $750 is on the high side, in spite of the Spink valuation of over £500 for the silver sold as individual pieces.

Isn't $750 a bargain price for one of those sets?

You still have his business card? Sounds like a deal to me.
edit: Well, if it's the 13 coin set it's a deal. Not so for the 11 coin set.

Krause has that set at $600. You have good instincts, Marty
But I still want a 1902 set

A wonderful purchase! (You almost made me drool into my coffee.)
