Default Q's abuot selling U.S. silver

I have about 10 pounds of US silver coinage collected from circulation
when that was possible. I'd like to cash it in. With my luck, I don't
expect any of the coins are rare.

Compared to being sold by weight, how much of a collectible value over
face value does a coin have to be worth selling individually?

Thanks

I'd go with Ebay, personally. Break them down into lots of $20, $10
and $5. Look them over to be sure you don't have any of the rare DDO
or DDR, as well as D/S or S/D overstrikes. These should be sold
separately.

Ebayers in my experience are more willing to buy at a slight premum to
what a local coin dealer will pay. It does take more time, but that is
often time well spent.
