Silver Buyers in Elizabeth Bay

We price against the live silver spot rate (per gram, per fineness) on the day. Sterling (925) is priced at a different rate than fine silver (999), and silver coins with numismatic value can carry a premium above melt. We test, weigh, and quote in front of you.

Both. Sterling (92.5% silver, stamped 925) is the most common silver we see — cutlery, trays, tea sets, jewellery. Fine silver (99.9%, stamped 999) is what bullion bars and many coins are made of. We price them separately based on the live spot and the actual silver content.

Items with a clear silver stamp (925, 999, 800, sterling) and enough weight to make the offer worthwhile. Small chains or single earrings are usually below the threshold. Larger items — candlesticks, tea sets, trays, coin collections, bullion bars — are worth bringing in.

Yes. Australian pre-decimal coins (pre-1964) are 92.5% silver and worth melt value at minimum. Modern bullion coins (Australian Kangaroo, American Eagle, Canadian Maple, Vienna Philharmonic) carry a small premium above melt. We price against spot plus any numismatic premium.

Yes — we lend against silver the same way we lend against gold. The loan amount is based on the live silver spot rate. If you want to keep the piece and reclaim it later, a pawn loan is the move. If you want to sell outright, we buy it from you on the spot.
