    Mercuries - I collected those and silver dollars when I was a paperboy in the 1960's.

    Here's a hint set you phone on like 3 or 4 pill bottles set to auto, when the box is green hit the button . You can place the coin on a piece of white paper may help. Again the specimens are very nice as you can see you hit a few nerves in here. :)

    I would at least put them in some New non-PVC 2.5" x 2.5" flips ;)

    They are larger than the plastic ones your dimes are in now. They can be folded over with the coin in one side & a paper insert with info in the other side. Non-PVC will not leave residue damage to the coins (sometimes considered a greenish color).
    The 2.5 x 2.5 will hold most larger size coins nicely.

    I have a template to make the inserts with MS word.

    I have the eBay dealer's name at work, but you can find them at several coin supply dealers.

    Beautiful, MS quality. IMO if you want to max the sale price, I believe you have done it, namely; get retail buyers interested, ...like this site.
