The ad is somewhat deceptive "This coin was minted in 1964 so is in excellent condition." They left out the part were it was silver plated in someones shed last week.

That is fine mate. I have seen the sets sold in the velvet cases and the toning is beautiful generally blue is quite prevalent though reds and oranges do occur from time to time.
