I'm guessing this was taken out of a original mint set and packaged again, they are asking $70 is that a good deal, some of the coins are toned.

Need larger images of both sides of each coin to evaluate them.

I'm not a fan of the toning on the Franklin half. As @coinfrog said, better photos are needed for full assessment.
Rest in Peace

The toning on the Franklin is a normal effect from being is and OGP pack (small square box) where the coins are individually wrapped in cello then stacked and stapled to fit in the box. You should notice that the arc on the Franklin is the same as the quarter that was partially shielding it and not allowing it to fully tone out.

I too would love to see much better images front and back.

With all that, I do like the toning on the half. Hoping to see reverse images.

If it isn't in the original mint set holder, it isn't a mint set, just five 1954 (hopefully) Unc coins from San Francisco. Because there is no way to prove they came from a mint set. (Of course even in the mint set holder it isn't proof because some people would switch out nicely toned or better quality pieces. If the paper on the back of the double sets is distorted from having pushed the coins out I don't consider the set original.)
