Sell Your Sterling Silver

We buy all types of sterling silver items for their metal content, including:

• Flatware: Forks, knives, spoons, serving pieces, and complete sets from any manufacturer.
• Servingware: Tea sets, coffee pots, creamers, sugar bowls, pitchers, and gravy boats.
• Platters & Trays: Serving platters, trays, bowls, and dishes of any size.
• Trophies & Awards: Cups, goblets, and commemorative pieces.
• Mint Products: Bars, rounds, and ingots from Franklin Mint, Danbury Mint, Hamilton Mint, and other private mints.
• Weighted Sterling: Knife handles, candlestick holders, and other items where sterling silver is wrapped around a non-silver core.
• Other: Pins, badges, picture frames, and more.

Items can be in any condition — tarnished, dented, broken, or monogrammed. We pay based on silver content, not appearance.

Look for a "925" or "Sterling" stamp on your items. This indicates 92.5% pure silver content. Many American flatware pieces also include the manufacturer's hallmark along with the sterling designation.

If your items are unmarked or you're not sure, bring them in and we'll test them for free at no obligation. We use non-destructive electronic and chemical testing methods to determine silver content.

Note: Items stamped "silver plate," "EPNS," "EP," "A1," or "quadruple plate" are silver-plated, not sterling silver. Plated items have a thin layer of silver over a base metal and typically contain very little silver by weight.

Sterling silver is a solid alloy containing 92.5% silver throughout the entire piece. It has significant melt value based on weight.

Silver plate (also called silverplate) consists of a thin layer of silver electroplated over a base metal like copper or nickel. Silver-plated items contain very little actual silver and generally have no precious metal value.

We do not buy silver-plated items. If you're not sure whether your items are sterling or plated, we'll test them for free.

Yes. We buy Franklin Mint silver bars, ingots, plates, and other sterling silver collectibles for their silver content. The same applies to items from Danbury Mint, Hamilton Mint, Washington Mint, and other private mints.

While these items are often marketed as "collectibles," their secondary market value is generally based on their silver weight rather than any collectible premium.

For pricing purposes, we pay based on silver weight and current market price, not brand or pattern. Whether you have Gorham, Towle, Wallace, Reed & Barton, International Silver, Kirk Stieff, or any other maker, the value is determined by weight.

You do not need to sort, polish, or organize your flatware before bringing it in.

Yes. Many sterling silver items are "weighted," meaning the sterling silver is wrapped around a non-silver core for stability. Common examples include knife handles (sterling wrapped around a stainless steel blade), candlestick holders (sterling over a cement or plaster core), and compotes.

We buy weighted sterling and account for the non-silver material when calculating our offer. You do not need to disassemble or remove any components before bringing in your items.

We do not purchase silver jewelry.

Most sterling silver evaluations take just a few minutes. We weigh your items, confirm they are sterling, calculate the value based on today's silver market price, and present our offer.

If you accept, payment is immediate: cash, Zelle, check, or wire transfer (wires are issued within one business day).
