A WORD ABOUT SCRAP SILVER
Scrap silver is an unfortunate term. Some think it refers to broken and damaged silver, perhaps also industrial silver but in fact "scrap silver" is a term which is used in the trade to apply to all silver items that are worth more for their metal than they are as items. Given that the price of silver is so high, many so-called antique items and old items are actually worth more for their silver weight BUT your local antique dealer is not under any obligation to take the metal price into consideration and they  often make an offer for an antique item BELOW the metal weight.  Many of our customers are pleasantly surprised how much more than antique value, they get for their items.

 COINS UK  Coins - sell silver coins uk

Apart from silver cutlery and jewellery we also buy silver coins and we now urgently need all silver coins, whether full  or half silver.  Coins deserve a special mention as they are not always easily identified
Prior to 1920 British silver coins contained high purity, 92.5% (Sterling) silver.
From 1920 to 1946, British silver coins contained 50% silver.
From 1947 to 1971, some denominations of British pre-decimal coins issued for circulation were "silver-colored," however these coins were made of copper-nickel, and contained no silver.
In addition, there have been some silver decimal coins minted in limited quantities as commemorative or bullion issues, typically in Proof condition; these coins were not intended for circulation.
The standard circulating denominations of pre-decimal British coins from 1800 to 1946 which contained 92.5% or 50% silver, included threepences, sixpences, shillings, florins, two shillings, halfcrowns, double florins, and crowns and we buy them all .
US & Foreign Coins We also buy US coins (normally 900 silver pre 1965) and European and World coins Phone for more info.

UK Silver Hallmarks

When you want to sell your silver you need to find out if it really is Silver and what grade you have. The problem with identifying it is the myriad of different hallmarks that you can find. Silver Plated items such as EPNS are not silver but always have some form of hallmark and then there are fake silver items to confuse the matter further.
To simplify matters if you see one of these marks or numbers on your item then it is likely to be silver...
800=80% silver, 925=92.5% silver (Sterling)  800 silver tends to be foreign silver (european in the main)

Silver hallmarks - Purity 925 etc

If you see any of the following marks on your item you can be even more sure. (and it will be English silver)

Silver marksby City London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Sheffield

if you also see a lion (see below), or a lion looking similar  you can be certain its silver (unless of course the marks are a criminal forgery! if in doubt please telephone us on 0121 448 0488
