How we price it
Junk silver is priced by total silver content against the live silver market.
We still scan for key dates and better coins so nothing valuable is bought as melt by mistake.
Large lots are weighed rather than counted coin by coin, which is faster and just as accurate.
What to bring
- Coins as they are, rolled or loose
- Photo ID
