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 Eastside Gold and Coin 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, Eastside Gold and Coin Exchange doesn’t purchase these items. We recommend donating them and getting the tax deduction for fair value.
