Maundy Set dilemma - now with image

I recently put together a 1913 Maundy set. The problem I have is three of the coins, 1d, 2d, and 4d, are all from the same set, that is, they are all similarily toned. The 3d is not part of the original set and is white, probably was dipped at one time. Should I keep the set as is? I want to get it put in a NGC multi-coin holder. Or should I dip the other three coins to match the 3d? or somehow tone the 3d.
What would you do?
hmm . . . can you guess which one doesn't belong?

Rather than trying to jerryrig a complete set from these mismtached coins, why not wait and try to obtain a complete set at some point?

Because it's much more fun and much cheaper this way?

Seriously, I would leave it alone and choose not to slab the set. You could still sell this as a set and then buy one that you would be more to your liking...

I was able to buy the four coins seperately for about 1/3 what a complete set would cost.

Don't be impatient.. the right coin would come along if you wait long enough!

If they look attractive its likely best to leave them be. White ones will always come along eventually.

Crap! I was afraid someone would ask for that. I'll see what I can do and maybe get them for tonight.

and I want to see pictures too!
Personally I'd track down a 3d that has the color to flow with the other 3. Those holders are mighty cool and a white 3d I would find distracting against the others.
I would then suggest a magnimous gesture and drop ship the 3d to me post haste to show how stellar of a gentleman you are in comparison to Wybrit

Nice pictures and this may be alot to do about nothing. At the expense of offending some folks, I have a theory about coins which is quite simple. If all the coins look alike, why not stop at one?
Don't be angry at someone who is candid and says what they think...
I do not recommend the multi-holder for this but it is a nice set. I like it

This set isn't for a multi-coin holder. I have to think what I want to do with this one.
