Krause / Spink prices for two UK sets please

drjules

Both my guide books are years out of date and I would appreciate up to date values on two sets I just picked up at the local coin show. I may reveal the prices I paid if I am not shamed by my own ignorance!

1. Classic 1953 UK proof set, original packaging, attractive toning, no problems but not earth shattering

2. Two coin set - 1989 silver proof piedfort two pounds, bill of rights and claim of rights

Thanks in advance

One thing about the 1937-1953 proof sets is that preservation is all important - obviously no wear or ticks but also lustrous cameos with good color on the bronze very important. I like to think of there being poor, average or superior sets.
