What Are 5 oz Silver Bars Worth?

5 troy ounces of .999 silver equates to roughly 155.5 grams of pure silver. The value of your bar is determined by:

  • Weight (fixed at 5 troy ounces)
  • Purity (typically .999 or higher)
  • Live silver price on the day we receive it

As of 5th October 2025, that value is £166.40 per bar, though this figure is subject to daily market changes. You can always check our live silver prices for up-to-date rates.

We buy bars from all types of producers, including:

  • The Royal Mint
  • Scottsdale Silver
  • Sunshine Mint
  • PAMP Suisse
  • Heraeus
  • Valcambi
  • Generic or private refiners

Each bar is tested using non-destructive XRF technology, ensuring accurate and reliable results, even if your bar is unbranded or has no visible markings.

Do You Accept Unusual or Damaged Bars?

Yes, we buy:

  • Bars that are unsealed or tarnished
  • Lightly scratched or handled items
  • Older bars with worn stamps
  • Generic or lesser-known mint bars

As long as the bar is genuine silver, we're happy to make an offer. You don't need packaging or a certificate of authenticity—just the bar itself.

We also purchase multiple bars or mixed weights. If you have several 5-oz bars or a combination of different sizes, include them all in your claim form, and we'll provide a combined valuation.
