Buying Silver

We want to buy your silver! Please click on the links just above here to find our buy prices for each silver category, or just keep scrolling down from here.

Due to the volatility of the precious metals markets, these prices can change throughout the course of the day. Please call or e-mail to confirm the current price.

During periods of high volatility in the metals markets, we may sometimes pause our buying until the volatility quiets down.

All shipments, with the price, MUST be confirmed by e-mail, before you ship. When you ship, please enclose an invoice in the package, so that we may properly identify your contents. Thank you!

Cull Silver Dollars - $22.00
*Culls can be either Morgan or Peace according to the following descriptions:

AG to Good Morgan or Peace with 4-digit readable dates;

or, any grade coin which has been cleaned, rim nicked, rim dinged, carbon spots, foreign matter, discolored, scratched. A silver dollar can have even XF details, yet if it has been cleaned, if it has off-color toning, or if it has a rim nick, it will still classify as a cull.

We don’t buy coins with holes, nor mangled coins, nor coins without readable dates.

Buying 90% Silver (so-called “junk” silver)

Dimes: Barber, Mercury, and 1946-1964 Roosevelt
Quarters: Barber, Standing Liberty, and 1932-1964 Washington
Half Dollars: Barber, Walking Liberty, Franklin, and 1964 Kennedy

coins must not be bent or mangled - we will count them in a counting machine

highly worn coins will be discounted (slick, no date, etc.)

Our current buy price is 18.3 times the face value dollar amount of your 90% silver coins. For example, if you have $100.00 of face value of coins, then we would pay $1,830.00 for it.
This price can change rapidly, even during a single day, depending on the price of silver, and on the premiums or discounts for 90% silver that occur in the silver markets. You must confirm the price with us before you ship. Thank you.

*One dollar face value of 90% silver U.S. coinage contains 0.7734 oz. of silver when newly minted. Circulated coins have been worn down, so on average, they contain
0.715 oz. of silver per one dollar of face value (coin industry standard value).

Buying 40% Silver
(Kennedy half dollars 1965-1969)

Current buy price is 6.9 times face the value of the coins. Again, this price can vary greatly, so confirmation of our price is necessary before shipping.
