 To CCF They look like beautiful coins. To give you anymore info, it would help if you had some close-up of what you have question about. The seal looks Presidential, but hard to confirm from such a small pic. |

Over the years there have been many private companies or
private individuals put together sets of coins. This
looks like that type of set.
It is not a set the U.S. mint put out.
Hard to tell much from the pictures posted.
Is there any information on the display box?

Looks like a privately assembled set of some sort. The Peace dollars look to have been heavily polished which is bad since that reduces them to melt value. |

They all look heavily polished and dipped....Fenton is right they are basically melt unless the 28 is a Philadelphia then it is still worth something since its a key date.

The 34 is a "s" and the 27 is a "d" the rest don't have a mint mark.What is dipped ? Up close some have multi colors starting around the edge.

Dipped means dipped in acetone or something similar. This is done to get rid of unwanted organic material on silver coins. Do it a little too much and it destroy original luster of coin.
The rainbow effect you see is often the way they start to tone after this was done. The rainbow could also be from polishing them.
Edit: Can the blue display be removed from box? If so have you checked there for any paper work? just a thought, my mother used to store any paperwork like this that way.

I tried but it is glued down. I'm glad you thought of it, I never would have. I wish I could find out more about it. I have more coins but none like these mainly silver dimes quarters and half dollars and a hole bunch of nickles and some other sets.They where all in a box that I inherent.I just like this one set alot. Maybe oneday I will find out more. Would these be good to have graded?

These appear dipped or cleaned not really the best candidates to send in. Is there a 1921 in the group?
If I were you I would keep them the way they are. They make a nice set and the box is pretty nice as well.

You have a complete date set there. Meaning you have one of every year they had. Very nice set to have.
Would love to see pics of you 1921. post that one in the Classic Coin Grading section. Close up pics of both sides. Preferably out of its plastic case if possible.

Dipped is the most common way some people clean coins.
The most common dip is e-Zest, which can be harmful to
the coins surface. Different than acetone.
These coins have been polished. Most likely with polishing
compound and a buffing wheel.
If what you say about the mint marks, the 1928 is your best coin
then the 1921. But the polishing has really hurt the value.
