FAQs About What Silver is Worth
How do I know whether or not what I have is silver or sterling silver?
Real silver typically has a “hallmark.” Search for a marking that reads either “925” or “800” or “Sterling” or “SS” (you may need a magnifying glass). If your material doesn’t have any of these markings but you think it may contain silver, send it in and let our experts take a look at it. As long as it is not silver-plated, we can make you an offer for it.
Do you purchase broken or cracked material?
Yes. As long as it’s comprised of silver we will pay you for it. The material’s value is based on its weight and purity and market price of silver on the day it is received, not its condition.
How do I know how much my silver is worth?
The worth of silver is determined by its purity, weight, and the current market value of silver. Check the silver hallmark/silver symbol for purity, weigh it, and then check out the current spot silver price.
How do I find out how much my silver jewelry is worth?
When trying to figure out what jewelry is worth, it ultimately relies on who you sell it to, if at all. If you plan on selling it, you might be able to sell it for a higher price in a private sale. If you sell it to a jeweler or pawn shop, you will receive a lower price because they need to pay for overhead. If you sell to Cash for Silver USA, we can usually offer a higher price because we work with our own refinery. If you sell to a business, keep in mind you will not be paid for the sentimental value of your jewelry.
Is it worth selling silver jewelry?
Selling silver jewelry can be worthwhile if it’s of high purity and silver prices are favorable. If the piece has a high sentimental value, it might be best to keep the piece.
How much is silver jewelry worth today?
The worth of silver jewelry today varies based on the spot silver price, which constantly changes, purity, and weight.
How can you tell if silver is valuable?
Silver’s value is indicated by its purity (marked as .925, .999, etc.), weight, and condition. The higher the purity, the more valuable.
How do you value old silver?
If you had old silver appraised, the value would be based on its age, rarity, condition, and purity. Antique silver may have additional value as a collectible. However, we send silver to be refined, so for us, the value would be tied to the spot price of silver on the day we evaluate it, plus the weight, and purity. Per Kitco, the price of silver is $29.50 per ounce as of December 30, 2024.
