    My friend's aunt was given this coin set by the
    Oakland Bank of Commerce of Oakland, California
    for participating in a golf tournament.

    The holder was accompanied by a letter from the bank dated
    August 6, 1963, explaining what the coins are.

    The holder has eight Morgan silver dollars, all common date.
    They appear to be uncirculated.
    Dates: 1881-O(2), 1885, 1885-O, 1896(2), 1900(2).
    Some have what looks like ring toning around the rims.

    My friend wants to sell them and I said that I would ask
    knowledgeable people.

    Would it be better (financially) to sell them as a set or to break it up?

    Is the toning significant enough to make a major price difference?

    The highest value will probably be obtained by selling everything "as is" including the letter. Unless some type of acid from the cardboard has reacted with the silver they should be fine. Wear is important in grading, not toning.
