We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge. Understanding what you own is the first step toward realizing its full value. We specialize in purchasing three main categories of silver:

1. Silver Coins

Silver coins are government-issued legal tender, valued both for their silver content (melt value) and, in some cases, for their rarity and condition (numismatic value). Many people have these coins stored away in safes or drawers, unaware of their significant worth.

• Common Examples: American Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Austrian Philharmonics, and pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half-dollars (often called “junk silver”).
• Our Expertise: Our specialists can quickly identify which of your coins carry a higher premium for collectors and which are valued for their silver purity. We ensure you are paid for the highest possible value, whether it’s as a collectible or as bullion.

2. Silver Bullion

Silver bullion refers to silver that has been refined into a bar, ingot, or round, specifically produced as an investment-grade precious metal. Its value is tied directly to the current spot price of silver.

• Common Examples: 1 oz, 10 oz, and 100 oz silver bars from recognized mints like Johnson Matthey, Engelhard, or the Royal Canadian Mint; and 1 oz silver rounds with various designs.
• Our Process: We use calibrated scales and verification methods to confirm the weight and purity of your bullion, guaranteeing you a fair and accurate payout based on its intrinsic market value.

3. Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. It has been the standard for fine silver jewelry, flatware, and hollowware for centuries. Don’t let your unused or outdated sterling items tarnish in a cabinet—they are a valuable source of silver.

• Common Examples: Flatware sets (forks, spoons, knives), tea sets, serving trays, candlesticks, and jewelry. Look for markings such as “Sterling,” “STER,” or “.925” to identify them.
• Our Commitment: We will meticulously assess your sterling silver items, separating them from silver-plated pieces and providing a clear explanation of their value based on weight and purity.

When you decide to sell, you deserve a partner you can trust. Selling to an anonymous online buyer or a general pawn shop can be risky and often results in a lower payout. Royal Element offers a superior alternative.
