1970 Proof set with milk spots...

I bought a 1970 Proof set not too long ago for $5. I normally don't collect sets, but this one had a very well struck nickel (FS) with soft gold/purple toning, and the Lincoln cent appears to have multicolored toning on Lincoln's body/suit. Even the half dollar has some rainbow peripheral toning. The dime and quarter, unfortunately, are plagued with milk spots.
So, I have a couple questions:
(1) If I want the toning to continue developing on the Kennedy half, should I keep it in the same plastic proof set holder?
(2) Is there any way to remove the milk spots beside sending the coin in to a restoration service?

2) No way to get rid of the milk spots by my experience.

Totally Impossible!!! The Dime and the Quarter are Copper/Nickel in a 1970 Proof Set. Not a drop of silver. So there can be no "Milk Spots".
You should be able to remove the toning with a quick dip.
