About Our Silver Buying Process
Most people don't realize how much value their silver holds. That flatware set in the cabinet from grandma's estate, the bag of old quarters and dimes, the sterling candlesticks nobody uses — these items have real, measurable value based on silver content and live market pricing.
At The Precious Metals Group, we specialize in precious metals and can offer strong prices because we deal in volume and have direct relationships with refiners. We're not a jewelry store making retail margin — we're buyers who pay based on what the metal is actually worth on the market that day.
We accept all forms of silver. Don't know if your pieces are sterling or silver-plated? Bring them in — we test everything for free and tell you exactly what you have before we make any offer.
Not sure if your silver is worth bringing in?
Call us and describe what you have — we'll give you an honest answerCome to Suite 906, 30 W 47th St any weekday 10am–6pm. Bring your silver items and a valid government-issued ID.
We test purity and weigh your silver in front of you. We sort items by type and purity to make sure you get the right rate for each piece.
We present a written offer based on live silver spot pricing and explain exactly how we calculated it. No pressure, no rushing.
Accept and receive immediate payment — cash, check, or bank wire. Done in minutes.
Sterling silver is marked .925 or "Sterling" — look on the back of flatware pieces or on the clasp of jewelry. Silver-plated items are marked "EPNS," "Silver Plate," or similar. If you can't find any markings, bring the items in and we'll test them for free in minutes.
Junk silver refers to US coins minted before 1965 — dimes, quarters, and half-dollars — which were made of 90% silver. Despite the name, they contain real silver and have solid market value based on their weight and current spot price. If you have rolls or bags of old coins, bring them in.
Not significantly. Our offer is based on the weight and purity of the silver you bring in. An incomplete set still contains the same amount of silver per piece. Missing pieces just means slightly less total weight — it doesn't reduce the per-ounce rate we offer.
We use the live silver spot price (the current market price per troy ounce, updated throughout the trading day). We weigh your silver, determine the purity, calculate the silver content in troy ounces, and multiply by the spot price. We show you this calculation clearly.
