Toning has started but isn't rainbow 
I bought this a few years ago and, if I recall from the few notes I took, it had started the toning before I got it.....bought off ebay before I knew what to look for in sets (ie....cam/dcam/true rainbow toning, etc). Luckily, I didn't pay much for it

Reverse is about the same....you are thinking dcam on them?
I know they, particularly the half, would have to be dipped...not so much for the toning as for the little uglies on them that look a little like haze.

Here are pics of all 5......Morris has given me his thoughts, and I appreciate it. Anyone else?
Knowing that these are quick photos and that they are unedited, and that the set cost ~$10 or so (maybe a couple bucks more), should the set be kept intact or should it be cracked? If so, dipped and sent to PCGS? What kind of values would be expected from the "good ones"?

And, here I thought that's what I was asking...thanks for the extra input.

is that milk spotting on the half, bochiman?
It would make a nice Dansco coin after dipping.
Not sure about the others.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
<< <i>Let me cheer you up. This set is still sealed, but apparently someone at the mint had difficulty getting the half into the insert. I've owned this set for some time now, and took it from a sealed box of 100.
In '68 (and, I believe into '69) the mint used a hammer and a block of wood to
get most of the nickels in. Some of the other coins are hard to get out sometimes
and maybe they shouldda used it on the half.

Really a wood block? That does not sound very numismatic of them.

Dude! We don't milkspot up here
From what I saw on the numbers, and general consensus, unless miracle grading, it wouldn't be worth it. So, nothing will be done to the set...no crackout.
