What to Look for in a Professional Junk Silver Buyer

Not all buyers are created equal. Here are the key qualities that separate a top-tier dealer from the rest:

1. A Verifiable Reputation
A trustworthy buyer will have a long history of positive feedback. Before selling, always check for:

2. A Transparent Process
A professional buyer will explain exactly how their offer is calculated based on the current spot price of silver and the total face value of your coins. There should be no hidden fees or confusing terms.

3. Expertise in All Silver Coins
While most junk silver has no collector value, some common-date bags can contain better-date coins or varieties. An expert buyer can spot these valuable pieces and pay you an extra premium for them—money that a simple “we buy silver” shop would miss.

Why We Like 90% Silver, 40% KHD, and 35% War Nickels

Here are some reasons we like these coins so much:

Ease of Identification
One of the biggest advantages these coins have with junk silver buyers is that they’re easy to identify. This familiarity means it’s less likely their value is disputed. That’s great if you value easy transactions and predictable prices.

Legal Tender
These coins are considered to be actual currency, meaning they cannot be confiscated, or demonetized, something much-prized by junk silver buyers.

Low Premiums
During periods of economic stability, these coins can often be acquired for little or no premium over the spot price of silver.

Divisibility
Junk silver buyers like that these can be easily spent or traded in small sums. This helps shore up its status as a means of exchange during times of inflation.
