One place to find scrap silver coins is in bags of junk coins. In some instances, you can purchase bags of old silver coins for very low prices. But before you get caught up in the face value of these silver coins, remember that you are looking at them for their silver content. The range of silver content in old coins can range anywhere from 40 percent to 70 percent, so it is worth the effort to take old silver coins to a silver buyer.
What determines if a silver coin is scrap silver? The condition is what marks certain coins as scrap while others are considered collector's items. A coin that has been used and has been out there circulating and being handled, then it is most likely good to be sold as scrap silver. Collector's silver coins are ones that are in uncirculated condition. A collector's silver coin can have been circulated in some cases, but it would only be a collector's item because it was so very rare. If a silver coin is extremely rare, then the condition becomes less important than the fact that this particular coin is so very hard to find.
One other place to look for scrap silver is old photographic paper that has not been used. This last part it key-in order to get cash for silver when you sell old photographic paper it has to be unused. Of course it also has to be old as well.
And as you probably already know, you can also sell old silver jewelry, such as silver bracelets, silver earrings, silver necklaces and silver rings. So even if you are not able to come across any old silver coins or old photographic paper, you can still sell old silver jewelry and get cash for silver from that.
As noted above, you can turn silver that is considered “trash” into a silver treasure. And it does not even have to be your old silver. It can be old silver that once belonged to someone else, as long as you have been granted leave to sell it. You can buy old silver coins or ask your friends and relatives for permission to dig through their old attics and basements to see if you and unearth any silver treasure. Make sure they are okay with you doing so before you start though. They will be glad that you have helped them get rid of a little clutter.
