Valuation / Reference Price

From catalogue & dealer listings:

The Scott C59 (25 ¢ Lincoln Airmail) in used condition is commonly listed ~ US $0.35 (≈ £0.28)

As mint / unused, blocks or sheets may carry higher values (e.g. mint plate block ~$6)

On Etsy, similar unused 25 ¢ US stamps in a pack of 10 are being sold for ~ £9.30 (i.e. ~£0.93 per stamp)

Also, on eBay, used 25¢ U.S. airmail is listed around US $1.49 (~£1.11)

Given your lot (3 stamps, possibly mixed condition), a conservative valuation might be in the range £2.00 to £5.00 total — unless your example is especially fine, rare variety, or mint.

Auction Option: Start at £1.50 with a reserve (if you want minimum) or no reserve if you want to attract bidders

“Best Offer” enabled (optional) — allow some flexibility

The fixed price should strike a balance: enough to cover your desired margin above reference value, but still attractive to collectors. The auction route can sometimes fetch more if bidders compete.
