Pretty Cool "What Walked in the Shop Today"

It seems like for the last couple of months, all we have been getting is 1968 to 1982 proof sets (by the truck load), junk silver, modern commemorative (nothing good) and Misc. garbage. ok, we did buy two sets of Morgan Dollars, but low grade is putting it mildly.
Today this elderly couple comes in with a box. On top are old blue Whitman folders, Jefferson's, Mercury dimes and Washington quarters. Every one of them missing the keys.... Darn...
I dug a little deeper and found sealed mint set from 1952 through 1959. Also found sealed proof set boxes from 1951 through 1955. At the bottom was another Mercury Dime set, complete.... Complete, but calling them ag-3 would be generous.
Today we also bought a PCGS MS64 1986 Lincoln struck on a dime planchet.
Pretty cool day.

So the Mercury 1916-D could be pretty interesting, even below G-4? (got my red book and checking it twice...)

Soooo.... Would you? Or would you sell them on eBay as un-opened??
Well . . if you are in Vegas and they are there . . . . I'll be stopping by.

Open them.
Nice icon by the way. I owned that ASE for a while.
