Sell as is.

I don't see anything in the photo that would warrant the cost of grading unless there is a variety that I'm not seeing. If you no longer wish to keep them I would sell as is.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Definitely not worth grading.
As for "keep" or "sell", that's kind of up to you.
The sliver looks hazy- if I thought it was likely to be successful, I'd consider a dip. If I was selling them them, I'd break them into individual year sets. Can't say what to do about grading from the pictures.
They present well, but grading would not pay off. A YN would love them or keep or sell whichever you prefer.
Keep or sell, your choice...not worth grading. Personally, I would keep them 'as is'. Cheers, RickO
Keep as is.

i would keep it as is. its up to you
Incur grading cost? - no not on this material.
Preferably sell as is (less work). Flip at show cost plus (buyer takes it all). Otherwise might take / break out of that holder, dip pieces needing a dip, put in 2x2, then into raw coin book cowans pages - collector coins for shows (helps pay expenses). It all adds up.
Many buy this material fill holes in their albums.
Dip 'em. Sell 'em. Ship 'em. (as is, of course).

That's an older plastic board, those coins have likely been in there a long time... mid 60's is my guess. I'd leave them as is and sell as a group.

I'd look around to see what each proof set is selling for separately before I think about doing anything else. Once you get a feel of the cost of what you have then it's up to you to proceed in any of those opinions stated.

If it doesn’t fit in with your collection then sell. It is a nice holder but not nice enough for me to want to keep if it was mine.
Can you loosen enough to fix those rotated cents? If so I would display, very nice set.
Sell as is.

Nice sets, dude! Well, for a probably easier and more quicker sale, sell as is. But ( your choice) to break out and sell/send in to PCGS for grading. Some individual coins. The more better and/or variety filled ones can be worth more $ than to sell the whole thing as is?
Example:
The 1955 Franklin. It appears to have the "Bugs Bunny" variety? Could be wrong, hard to tell from photos. Also, that 1955 Cent!
It looks to have a Cameo on both the obverse and reverse? Nice coins, regardless. Good Luck in whatever you decide.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.They're probably in better shape than they appear in the scratched up holder. If mine I would carefully remove and examine for higher grades and cameo. DO NOT touch the surfaces at all. If you do you'll create a smudge and then when try to wipe it off you will create hairlines killing any higher value they may have.
Check for varieties
Check for Cameos
Sell as a entire conglomeration whole.

Sell as is. They look like they have been carelessly stored for a very long time and have suffered as a result.
Get out the loupe, check for errors then sell as is. Peace Roy

Those have been preserved well by that holder. I would leave as is (perhaps trying to align/rotate the coins as stated above).
Put it away for another 50 years and you might have something
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
I collect proof sets from this era.
I would take this holder apart, remove each coin, evaluate each coin to determine the quality of same, for varieties and for possible Cameo appearances.
None of the coins look like toners with positive eye appeal.
If the silvers look high quality under the haze I would dip them carefully to remove the haze.
I may also do so with the nickels.
I would be reluctant to do so with the cents.
I would then clean the holder. If the holder looks in great condition after the cleaning I would place the coins back in it.
I would then enjoy it as is or sell it as is, unless you find a coin or two that is/are worth grading. If you do, find replacements for the coins you grade.
My two cents.
For me, that holder is ugly and does nothing for the presentation of the coins inside.
The coins of any value are the Franklins, and as there are only 34 in the series and you have 5 (1/7). I would buy a nice Dansco album and complete the series over time. It shouldn't set you back too much and you would have a nice collection...
The remaining coins can fill other albums and/or as other have stated be put in 2x2's to keep or sell. Selling can help finance your Franklin collection?!?
Good luck on the path that you choose.
Pass them onto a young relative.
