Our Simple 3-Step Process

How Silver Value Is Determined When You Sell

The value of silver is based on three factors: purity, weight, and the current market spot price. Silver purity is expressed as a fineness rating. Sterling silver is .925, meaning it is 92.5 percent pure silver. Fine silver is .999, or essentially pure. Many U.S. coins minted before 1965 contain 90 percent silver, commonly referred to as junk silver by dealers and collectors.

Once purity and weight are confirmed, pricing is calculated using the live silver spot price on the day you visit. At Carolina Gold Exchange, every step of the evaluation is done in front of you and explained clearly before any offer is made. You can also check current silver prices on our price comparison page.

What Is the Difference Between Sterling Silver and Silver Plated Items?

This is one of the most important distinctions when selling silver. Sterling silver is a solid alloy containing 92.5 percent silver and is valuable based on its metal weight. Silver plated items have only a thin layer of silver over a base metal like copper or nickel, and the recoverable silver content is minimal.

At Carolina Gold Exchange, we test every item to determine whether it is solid sterling silver or silver plated. If an item is plated, we will let you know upfront. We buy sterling silver flatware, jewelry, coins, and bullion, but silver plated items generally do not carry enough metal value to purchase.

Common Types of Silver People Sell in Myrtle Beach

Many people are surprised by the variety of silver items that carry real value. Sterling silver flatware sets, including forks, knives, spoons, and serving pieces, are among the most common items brought in for appraisal. Inherited silverware is often worth more than people expect.

Silver coins are another frequent item. Pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars contain 90 percent silver and are valued based on their silver content and, in some cases, collector demand. American Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and silver rounds and bars are popular investment-grade items that trade close to spot price.

Silver jewelry, including rings, bracelets, chains, and pendants marked .925, also carries value based on weight and purity. Whether you have a single piece or an entire collection, Carolina Gold Exchange provides a free evaluation with no obligation to sell.
