Question about silver coins...
I found some silver coins at my local dealer, they are all 1 troy oz, .999 fine silver but they are all Christmas coins with Santa Claus on them. Does having a design like that (Santa or otherwise) make them harder to sell when you want to sell them?
Does he have any silver Eagles ?

Yes, they will be harder to sell. The premium for American Eagles is that they are well known and trusted, and people will have one for comparison.

No silver eagles, silver Santas only right nowHas anyone bought any coins online and if so, have you had any problems receiving them? I guess I like guying local just cause I like no record of my buying anything.
If you would be selling for strictly melt value than no they will not be harder to sell. If you are looking for investment pieces with both an increasing melt value and an increasing numismatic value than there are better options out there for you. That said, there is always a niche market of commemorative and novelty coin/token collectors who will scoop up hard to find items. You might want to get an idea as to how many of these were struck.

Make sure its a TROY ounce
Does he have any common Peace dollars ( 1922 , 1923 ) or common Morgan dollars ( 1921 ) ? They are about 3/4 of an ounce , easier to unload later, you will probably have to pay $32 ish , but you can get that back out of them , or more, later.

Being a kid once I'm not to sure these are the best coins to get to have a private collection of coins.
It's bullion silver, I would have no problem buying it. Not much over spot and make sure it is a troy ounce. I own lots of silver bullion along with junk silver and eagles. I buy what is the best deal at the time i'm looking.
