Top UK Prices Paid for All Silver
We buy all types of silver at grades 500 and above — from jewellery, coins and bars to flatware and industrial silver. No matter the condition, we test, weigh and quote honestly. Accepted silver grades include .500, .800, .900, .925 (Sterling), and .999 (Pure).
Skip antique dealers and pawn shops. We regularly pay more than auction houses and high street jewellers. Use our silver price calculator to get a no-obligation estimate now.
Sell Silver Jewellery – Broken, Vintage, or Modern
We buy rings, chains, bracelets, bangles, pendants and earrings – even broken or foreign-marked jewellery (800, 835, 900, 925 etc). If you’re unsure of purity or hallmarks, we can test it free of charge.
Many buyers underpay, promising vintage premiums that don’t materialise. We quote based on true silver weight and purity – with no hidden deductions except for stones or non-silver parts.
Sell Silver Coins – UK & Foreign
We buy all UK coins pre-1947 (50% silver) and pre-1920 (92.5% sterling). We also buy international coins including US 90% (pre-1965), European and colonial silver. Use our silver coin calculator to estimate your coin’s value.
Quick tip: 112g of sterling = £1 face value in pre-1920 coins. As of 02/07/2020, we paid 27x face value for 50% coins and 54x for sterling.
Sell Silver Cutlery, Trophies & Household Items
From candlesticks and trays to goblets, tankards, cigarette cases and tea sets – we buy all solid silver items regardless of age or damage. We accept hallmarked and tested pieces of all grades (925, 800, 500, etc.).
