Selling my time capsule

When I go to the next coin show in MA I will be selling my time capsule due to silver spot prices and to help mom to pay some of the bills. What is the time capsule? - the capsule consists silver coins my uncle pulled out of the circulation in 1960s and have been untouched since. Since most likely they will go to the melting pot I thought you may be interested what the breakdown of circulated coins was in 1960s. I suspect that some of the coins he found ended up in coin albums (which I still have) but rest of them resided in a box before they were put in rolls by me.
Here's what I have:
12 rolls of quarters
<1% SLQ type 1 only(!?!) = few pieces
1% 1930s
15% 1940s
35% 1950s
50% 1960s
2.25 rolls of mercury dimes
<1% 1910s
1% 1920s
5% 1930s
94% 1940s
4.5 rolls of Roosevelt dimes
1% 1940s
15% 1950s
84% 1960s

And you might try the BST forum or PM forum here if the dealers aren't paying enough at the show.

We've had other members do the same!
you should be able to get between $4458-$4920 at the show. You could probably get that top number here on the BST, maybe a touch more. Good luck with the sale.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
hows things?
I still have the Jeffs I bought from you somewhere

I bought a house so I stopped doing coins for a while..... I'm back (very slowly). Right now very interested in selling so I cash out on my luck of interested in coins over the last few years....
