Silver

What We Buy

The most common type of silver that we buy is Sterling Silver. These are marked somewhere on the item with “Sterling” or “925”. While more rare, we do buy coin silver. Coin silver is strictly made in the United States and is usually marked with “COIN” or “PURE COIN”. Although commonly mistaken as Sterling Silver, we do not buy Silver Plated items. Silver Plated items have an outside layer of Sterling Silver, but have nickel or base metal underneath that layer. To tell whether the item you have is plated, check for the Sterling Silver markings known as hallmarks (often STERLING or .925 .835 etc). Silver Plated is hard and will not bend like Sterling or Coin silver.

Flatware and Serving Pieces

We also buy Sterling Silver flatware and serving pieces. Sterling flatware and servings pieces will have the same markings as other Sterling items, with the word “Sterling” stamped into the flatware. This is usually visible on the back of forks and spoons, or the handle of knives. For serving pieces this mark is usually on the base or back of the item. Some common makers of Sterling Silver flatware sets and serving pieces are Gorham, Reed & Barton, Wallace, Towle, Georg Jensen and Tiffany & Co. If the word “STERLING” is not on the flatware, it is most likely silver plated, which has no monetary value and can be donated or given away.

Native American Jewelry

Most Native American jewelry pieces are made of sterling silver and will have the hallmarks shown above. Common pieces we see are squash blossom necklaces, turquoise and red coral rings, concho belts and cuff bracelets. Highly desirable pieces like this will also have the artist’s stamp which usually consists of their initials. Jewelry of this category sells best with its original patina and wear – do not polish these items!

Understanding Scrap Gold

Understanding Scrap Gold

Scrap gold refers to unwanted or broken items containing gold that can be recycled for their precious metal content. To determine the value of your scrap gold, consider its purity (measured in karats), weight and the current market price of gold. By multiplying the weight of your gold by its purity percentage and the current gold price per unit, you can estimate its worth. For instance, a 14K gold piece weighing 10 grams, with gold priced at $60 per gram, would be valued at approximately $349.80. Utilizing online calculators can simplify this process.

A Guide to Selling Gold

A Guide to Selling Gold

When selling your gold, understanding its purity, measured in karats, is essential. Pure gold is 24 karats, but it's often alloyed with other metals for durability, resulting in variations like 18K (75% gold) and 14K (58.3% gold). The higher the karat, the more valuable the gold content. Additionally, staying informed about current market prices and choosing a reputable buyer can help you maximize your returns.
