Your Silverware Set has Value

Do you own a silverware set? Silverware can be surprisingly valuable. Silverware can be antique or modern, made from sterling silver or plated with silver. There are a few different tiers of quality, and each occupies its own place on the secondary market. The right buyer will be able to determine how much silver you have and make you a fair offer. At Crown Gold Exchange, our trained professional buyers know exactly how to assess the value of your silverware, and we’re happy to make you an offer on it.

Sterling Silver is of High Quality, and commands a High Price

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure, and thus it has a purity rating of .925. Most silverware has this level of purity; somewhere on each piece should be a marking that reads: “Sterling” and/or “.925”. Even when a marking is not present, routine testing will reveal the exact quality of the silver. Such testing is used even when the marking is present, to avoid fraud.

Other Grades of Silver also have High Value

Silverware is sometimes made using coin silver, which has a rating of .900; it can also be made from a silver of grade .800, or from other grades. In any case, silverware will be made from a silver alloy that is mostly silver. A skilled appraiser will be able to determine exactly what grade of silver is used, and thus, how much silver is present in the set.

Silver Coating has Value

Silver-plated silverware is made of a cheaper metal, such as copper and nickel, overlaid with a silver coating. Such pieces are not as valuable as those made from a silver alloy. Because the amount of silver in silver-plated items is so low, Crown Gold Exchange doesn’t purchase these items. We recommend donating them and getting the tax deduction for fair value.

Crown Gold Exchange buys ANY silver items

Crown Gold Exchange buys a lot more than silverware. As long as your item has silver, we will buy just about anything, including jewelry, coins, ornaments, bowls or figurines. If you have a silver item and are unsure of its value, bring it in, and we can look at it together. Some coins like the 1942-1945 silver U.S. war nickels only have 35% silver. Even the 1965-1969 Kennedy half dollar has 40% silver. If your item is made from even a small amount of silver, we can buy it. As with gold, some famous designers offer a line of silver products which fetch a high price on the secondary market. Judith Ripka and David Yurman are such designers. We also pay a higher price for certain Mexican designs, such as those from the Taxco region, or for the work of Native American artisans such as Begay, Bisbee, Yazzie, and others. Some of their designs include squash blossom necklaces, turquoise jewelry, bear claw bracelets, and others.

Other Things we Purchase

At Crown Gold Exchange, we also purchase items made from other precious metals, including gold, platinum, palladium and rhodium. Our buyers are trained in valuing rare items, including diamonds, designer jewelry, autographed merchandise, and even designer handbags. If you have a rare or precious item and are considering selling it, then bring it to one of our nine convenient locations. There’s a good chance we can identify its market and value. Once we authenticate your item and appraise it, we are in a position to make you an offer on it.
