Always Paying More For Silver Coins
How We Pay the Most for Your Silver Coins
We take care to knowledgeably assess, and appraise your silver coin collection, as we want to make sure you get the best offer possible. The process starts with you submitting photos, or an inventory of your collection to us. After that, we reach out via text or email with an initial written appraisal.
For better collections, we will set up a time for our coin buyer to come to you to physically appraise the collection in-person and extend an offer to buy it at a fair, mutually agreed-upon price.
Before you sell, read our guide to choosing a reputable silver coin buyer, including what pawn shops and auction sites often miss.
How Much Can I Sell My Silver Coins For?
That depends on several factors. First, there is the type of silver coin you have.
For example, junk silver coins (90% silver dimes, quarters and halves dated 1964 and earlier) are priced mostly on the current silver spot price. Silver dollars and key dates can be worth much more because of low mintages and collector demand.
After that, the date, mint mark, grade and eye appeal all come into play. Certified coins graded by PCGS or NGC often bring more. For background on U.S. coin history, see the U.S. Mint and the Smithsonian National Numismatic Collection.

Dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver, Kennedy halves from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver, wartime Jefferson nickels from 1942 to 1945 are 35% silver, and Morgan and Peace dollars and American Silver Eagles are silver too.
