I don't know much about that set, but I do know that the condition of the package matters, so take good care of that.

I don't have the lid to the box. The Silver dollar looks to be showing some toning,
I just read something about the fancy container leaking and air getting in. Could
that be the reason for the toning? Could it effect the value. I do have the COA.

A Google search turned up that 12,689 of these sets were sold; how many of them remain in the original government packaging is hard to say.

Here's a link to a post I made about the Mint's Bicentennial medal - it includes a brief discussion of the Philadelphia Set: https://goccf.com/t/144820 Maybe it will answer your questions. If not, please post a specific question about the set. I'll try to help out. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Looking to get some good pics with an iphone, I'm not sure how it will work out.
I have a bunch of commemorative proof sets to shoot as I may be looking to unload them.

@Gilron: If what you are looking for are the current market values for your various sets, I would suggest searching on ebay for the "Completed Auctions" of the items you have. Good luck! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Should I have these coins slabbed?

I would not bother with getting them slabbed, but that is just my opinion. I would prefer to keep that set intact.

@Gilron: I agree that it's likely best to keep the set together. Collectors look for these sets and pay a premium for them when found in their original holders and box. You run the risk of the coins losing their "identity" once they are removed from the case to be graded/encapsulated.
