Valuation & Pricing Recommendation:

Based on comparable listings:

The set of four stamps for the 1953 Coronation in unused condition lists for modest amounts (~£19 for unused set according to one dealer).

Used examples seem to sell in small £ range.

Given yours is a used pair (not the full set), and on piece with hinge/tape residue, a realistic market value might be £5-£15 depending on condition and buyer interest.

Suggested eBay “Buy It Now” Price: £12.

Suggested Auction Start Price: £3 or £4 (to stimulate bidding) with no reserve (or low reserve) to attract interest.

You could add a “Buy It Now or Best Offer” option and allow the market to determine if interest is higher.
