I suspect that you are asking about the 1970 British Proof set - the maroon cardboard cover is labeled "Coinage of Great Britain" on the top line, "and Northern Ireland" on the bottom line and "LSD" [it should actually be "£sd", the symbols for Pounds, Shillings and Pence] and "1970" in the middle in large type. The official name of the country is actually the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"; hence the labeling.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the set is valued at US$24 in the original packaging, although in my experience they are generally sold in the $15-$20 range.

A British 1979 set of Proof coins (50p to ½p) could fetch up to £12 GBP. It should be noted that the value of any "coin set" is dependant on it being in its original packaging and condition. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

A British 1970 Proof Set (Last Sterling) would be the last ever pre-decimal set issued. It included all coins from Halfcrown down to Halfpenny (8 coins plus medallion). In its original packaging it could fetch up to £20 GBP.

It should be noted that the value of any "coin set" is dependant on it being in its original packaging and condition.

There were 750,000 sets issued.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

A British 1927 (Proof FDC) set of coins (Crown to Threepence - 6 coins), in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £480 GBP. The value of any coin set is also dependent on the state of the original packaging. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
