Consider the market value of the coins, and then estimate the cost of authentication and grading for 11 coins. Further, the coins as posted present a nice, compact display. In 11 slabs, they are just separate coins.

Do what you wish, but consider alternatives....
I agree, but I want to sale the set and I understand (?) Is hard sale or consignment if the Coins are not graded. I am amateur in the Hobby
Give some of the members here a chance to respond. They might have other alternatives or experience with selling these coins that could help you decide what to do.
That set in that holder is one my favorites.
It's all right there in front of you, easy to compare and enjoy.
Better than flipping through 11 clunky slabs.
No comment on the Froot-Loop colors.

I like them but like up top look A.T and may not sell well as a set if you sell. You will need to grade one or two at a time then when all are graded you can put in a auction as a set with a auction house like Stacks getting them in a holder will kill you and that's if they all make it.. I would pay around $80 to $100 bucks raw just because it's a set and buying or selling you make your $$$ when you buy. Always try to get your buys as low as you can so it's all up from there. There will always be more to buy if they pass on your buy price just move on to the next one, Good luck and have fun but they do look gassed.
If the set photos posted by Hemispherical are copied, and sharpened, you will see what was done to the coins before they were colored. Lots of abnormal irregularities and evidence of manipulation.
looking at the picture I am reminded of the "Appalachian Hoard" and I never thought the color of those was legitimate either. i have an old set that has been together a long time and the coins tend to acquire a look that is creamy and sort of pealesque with splashes of color, mainly at the rims.
most importantly, since the set has been together the coins all look similar. also, purple is an AT give away.

Does PCGS offer a multi-coin holder for these?

I don't want to burst your bubble, but those all look AT to me.

If the color in the images is (edited to add: even close to) accurate, that is my thought, as well.

All look AT. Save your money.
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.

Hoard the keys.
certainly interesting colors
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.
OP states, “FS”. What does the reverse look like?
“I agree, but I want to sale the set and I understand (?) Is hard sale or consignment if the Coins are not graded. I am amateur in the Hobby”
Amateur in the hobby but you want to sell?
Good luck!
Edit to add OP’s pic (that is on his/her’s “wall”):

I would be interested in buying the set in its current holder.
An authorized PCGS dealer, and a contributor to the Red Book.
Seems legit to me
They appear stripped and recolored. Hardly worth melt in that condition....
@Srivano
A set without questionable toning.

Terrible coins....AT all.
Stay away....unless you like losing money.
All shiny and dipped!
Probably true but all these older sets have been picked over and molested in some way. Nothing seems to be “original” nowadays.
Blame is on the the previous custodians (collector & dealers) of these coins.
Oh well, time to check PM spot!
I would sell that toned set as-is and let someone else figure it out.
Someone will pay for it and learn a lesson. Either that or the OP can ante up the tuition.
Gettin' hammered!
Buy!
I agree with @Type2 send one or two in and see what happens. These pics may not show the true color. JMHO.

To Op where did you obtain this one? @Srivano
Wow those look cooked! Like others said don’t waste $$$ on grading.
Those coins have a distinct AT look IMO..... Cheers, RickO
I have compared these coins to others on Heritage and the strike is superior and the surfaces are smooth. They are obviously undergraded
