One set is Cameo, one set has the silvers and the cent with similar whitish toning and the third set has five coins with varied colors.
The half is plum colored, the quarter is a glossy light black, the dime is pale yellow, the nickel is a deeper yellow with blue rim toning and the cent is a deep orange with purple highlights. The toned coins came out of a single OGP set.
A fun way to display these 1964 sets with completely different looks.

That is really cool.
A very eye-catching lucite holder. However, I don't think it was made by Capital. The screws are not the type used by Capital. Other makers besides Capital were active during the 1960s.
Correct that there were other manufacturers, but did you take this picture? Could be a Capital brand holder with the screws and top sheet of plastic removed for photographic purposes.
Sweet !!!
That's a new one to my eyes.....always learning something new.

I stand corrected. The thread title should say "Capitol style holder".
I have seen this type of holder over the years!
They do look nice.
That is a nice holder to show the different looks of the coins.
Here is one on ebay and seller says Capital

Capital also has metal screws that some people prefer over the plastic that strips
that's my birth year! I want it!
Nice Cameos
I have seen these used for the 65, 66 and 67 SMS sets.
I like that holder.... have not seen that before. The one on ebay has three different year sets....Cheers, RickO
