I happened to stumble upon this description and thought I would pass it on . . . Link
"Grandfather’s estate was just settled. He was 97 years old and collected coins most of his life. I purchased a digital scale and I made up bags. That is 10 full American ounces, not that troy ounce stuff. There are hundreds of bags and none of them contain any pennies."
I love it! The seller is implying that those "full American ounces" (at 28.3 grams each) are somehow better than "that Troy ounce stuff" (with their mere 31.1 grams each)! You just gotta love it!

12 morgan silver dollars. Yeah from my Grandpa's Collection. hahahaha
Hey, those are the coins from the auction I just had. he he.
You're Grandpa!!!!!!!
"I know silver prices are high; I took a photo of some of the coins. There are silver Morgan dollars, peace dollars, trade dollars. There are Liberty seated quarters, standing liberty quarters, walking liberty halves, Franklin halves, and Barber halves, half dimes, Liberty seated half dollars, twenty cent pieces, Kennedy half dollars, Washington quarters, mercury dimes and Roosevelt dimes and nickels. I have added other old coins, but no pennies. There is a small amount of gold compared to the silver coins but they look very old mostly $3.00 gold pieces from the late 1800’s & $5.00 Indian type from the early 1900’s. There is a hand full of $10.00 liberty gold coins from the early 1900’s. Sorry, I did not see any pennies. I will guarantee you will receive one or more of the coins listed above, but notevery coin listed above.
The photo shows some of the coins in the collection, not the actual coins you will receive. I just reached in the boxes weighed them and put them in plastic zip lock bags. I didn’t see any other coins than the ones listed above so I will guarantee that they are 90% as described above. If not I will refund your money."
