Should we the people sell your silver coins or sell the silver for weight?

It really depends on the coins whether you should sell them as collector coins or as silver bullion. There are some coins with no value beyond silver value (for example, 1964 quarters/half dollars/dimes) and others that have value beyond silver only in nearly uncirculated condition, (for example, 1940s Mercury dimes), still other coins have value far beyond silver content even in a nearly unreadable coin (for example the 1916 D mercury dime). So it really just depends on the coins you have. In general, "retired" designs like mercury dimes, walking liberty half dollars, standing liberty quarters and Barber coinage goes for a higher premium than silver content. Though, this is not always the case as even some low-grade Barber coins have no value beyond silver. So it just really depends on what coins you have.
