Scrap Silver

Sell your scrap silver for cash.

We purchase all grades of scrap silver and pay excellent rates for unwanted silver jewellery and coins.

Some examples of the type of silver we accept are:

  • Silver cutlery
  • silver candlesticks
  • silver trays and bowls
  • silver cigarrette cases
  • silver pens
  • silver picture frames
  • pre-1920 silver coins
  • pre-1947 silver coins.

Note: We only purchase solid silver items. We do not buy silver plated / EPNS items.

EPNS Silverware

Unfortunately, we do not purchase EPNS items. EPNS stands for Electro Plated Nickel Silver and simply means the item is silver plated. Common EPNS items include cutlery, teapots, salt and pepper pots etc. If you find an EPNS mark on your item, please do not send it to us.

Pre-1947 Silver Coins

Pre-1947 British silver coins contain 50% silver. Pre-1920 coins are 92.5% silver.

Pre-1920 British Coins

British silver coins, prior to 1920 are sterling (.925) silver. Value your pre-1920 silver coins with our silver calculator.

1920 – 1947 British Coins

In 1920, the silver content of all British coins was reduced from 92.5% to 50%. If you have any british silver coins, dated between 1920 and 1946 you can value them using our scrap silver calculator, available in the right-hand column of this page.

We also provide a full breakdown of all our rates on our scrap silver prices page. For convenience we publish our silver prices per gram, penny weight, ounce and troy ounce.

    Hi – I have a 50g bar of silver given to me by an Indian – it is decorative and says ‘MK Silver Art’ on it.

    Is this worth anything?

    Thanks, Carrie

    What would be the safest and best way to ship a quantity of pre-1947 coins to you, approx 4191 g?

      Thanks for your enquiry.

      You should ship your coins using Royal Mail Special Delivery. You can send packages up to 10kg in weight. The insured cost would be £22.50 to send your coins.

      I hope this information helps.

      The quickest option is to take it to your local jeweller to value (either for scrap or insurance purposes). Before your item can be valued, it will need to be tested.
