I have maybe one tenth of his collection here right now and I can tell you there are complete books of Mercury Dimes, Eisenhower Dimes, Franklin Half Dollars, Washington Quarters, Mercury-Roosevelt Dimes, Morgan Dollars and American Eagle Silver Dollars. Is there anywhere that I could find an interested party to purchase larger quantities of these coins or should I just flood the market on Ebay and hope for the best? Thanks in advance for any information. -- itZme[/QUOTE]
