Tips for Selling Scrap Silver

Scrap silver is paid on weight and fineness, so broken, bent or mismatched pieces are perfectly welcome. The work is in separating what is solid from what is only coated.


Here is how to get the most for your scrap silver:

  • Check for hallmarks: 925, 900, 800 or Sterling. Unmarked pieces are not automatically rejected, they simply need testing before we can price them.
  • Try a magnet at home. Solid silver is not magnetic, so anything that jumps to the magnet is plated or a base metal and will not be bought as silver.
  • Do not throw out damaged pieces. Snapped chains, single earrings and dented bowls are all bought on weight, condition is not a factor for scrap.
  • Pull out anything that might be worth more than its metal. A designer piece or a graded coin should be valued separately, not melted into the pile.
  • Weigh the lot at home if you can. It gives you a rough idea of the range before you arrive and makes the conversation quicker.

Everything is weighed and tested on calibrated scales in front of you, and we show you which pieces went in as solid silver and which did not.

What Makes Scrap Silver Hold or Lose Value

Scrap silver is priced on two numbers set the day the piece was made: its fineness, and how much of the object is really metal. A spoon stamped 925 is still 925 after decades in a drawer. What changes over time is everything wrapped around that silver.

  • Tarnish - the black film is a surface sulfide, not loss, so there is no reason to polish a lot before bringing it in
  • Plating wear - a rubbed tray shows base metal at the edges, and age never turns a coating into solid silver
  • Weighted bases - candlesticks and some hollowware are filled with pitch or plaster, so the scale reads well ahead of the silver
  • Faded marks - polishing can erase 925, 900 or 800 over the years, which means testing rather than rejection

Dents, kinks and single earrings cost you nothing here: bent metal weighs what straight metal weighs.

Selling Now or Holding: How to Read the Decision

The offer is weight times purity times that day's market rate, minus margin. Two of those three are already locked into your pieces, so waiting is a bet on one variable only. That makes the timing question smaller than it first looks.

  • Small lots - a snapped chain and two odd earrings move so little on a rate change that timing rarely repays the wait
  • Multi-ounce lots - once you are into several troy ounces of sterling, the daily rate is worth checking before you commit
  • A baseline quote - text the purity and weight, note the figure, then text again later and compare instead of guessing
  • Splitting the pile - bring the plainly broken material now and hold back a designer piece or graded coin for its own valuation

Nothing in a bag of sterling decays while you decide, so the only real cost of waiting is where the market goes.
