Any reason to keep non-proof Ike's?

Been going through all of my coins lately, and I have about 36 1971 Ike Silver dollars.... Sure, maybe when my grandkids are my age they may be museum worthy pieces, but is there really any reason to keep them?
I know that only the "proof" dollars from that year were 40% Silver, and I doubt any of these were proofs... All in nearly or uncirculated condition, but no mirror finishes..
So, would I be crazy to just cash them in?
In your opinions, would it behoove me to sell as one lot on epay?

Thanks for any advice and thoughts..

It would be difficult to make any money off of them on ebay unless they are perfect with the associated fees. I cahed in $280 worth a couple of months ago.

I've found a couple hundred bucks worth in the last couple years. No 40%'er's. I give 'em away and spend at the drive-thru's.

Theres a couple of Ikes to look out for , i think its the 1971p known as type2.The design changed slightly making it a variety.Ive heard of other less well known varieties of Ikes but the type 2 is probably the best known.
