What Types of Silver You Can Sell
Not all silver items carry the same value. We help distinguish sterling, coin silver, and bullion from plated items.
- Sterling silver flatware, hollowware, and tea sets
- Silver jewelry marked 925, Sterling, or STG
- American Silver Eagles, junk silver, silver rounds and bars
How the Selling Process Works
The process takes 10–20 minutes. We identify and test your silver, confirm purity with acid or electronic testing, weigh on certified scales, and calculate an offer based on current market prices. Valid photo ID required by NC law.
How Silver Value Is Determined
Key factors: spot price (live commodity market price per troy ounce), purity (sterling is 92.5%), weight (troy ounces), and collectible value for rare coins or antique flatware patterns.
Practical Tips for Selling Silver
Organize items — separate sterling from plated pieces. Avoid aggressive cleaning. Bring documentation for estate pieces. Sell in bulk for better combined prices. Compare offers from multiple buyers.
