Would probably have them graded. Keep the best three grades if they check out as MS63 or better and sell the rest to buy modern 1/4 ounce gold bullion like AGEs, Krugs, and Leafs.
I sold 20 Krugerrands in 1980 and for a few decades thought I was pretty smart! I'd probably swap them for platinum which I believe has more upside than gold or silver.

I've got four of them and I hold on to them. Even though they are common date UNC Saints, for me they are still basically numismatic coins. I just like the look and feel of them.

No doubt. Even though Saints are not hard to come by, they are still one of the most beautiful US coins ever made, not too many people have the opportunity to own one, and they are very intriguing to non-collectors when they see them. I've been collecting 1/4 AGEs for saving but have thought about taking off 6-8 months from the bullion hoarding to save for one nice Saint and one nice Liberty double eagle.
I would hold on to them tightly. They have a bright future.

It would depend on what my cost for them was and what condition they were in. However, with the ratio of less than 40 (silver::gold), I would not be trading them for gold.

Why would you do that Smitty? This is such a tight market that you (buying 13) drove the price through the floor. Dang, I thought I was the only one that did this!

partly agree.
I knew it would happen.
