How We Evaluate Silver for Purchase

When you visit our location in Twin Falls, you hand over your silver and we test each item to confirm its purity. We use acid testing or electronic testing equipment to verify whether your silver is sterling, fine, or another fineness. After testing, we weigh everything on a calibrated scale and show you the total weight in grams. We then explain how that weight converts to troy ounces and what the current spot price means for your total offer.


We buy silver jewelry, silverware, flatware, bullion bars and rounds, and junk silver coins. Junk silver refers to coins with no numismatic value but significant silver content, and these are priced based on weight and fineness. This process applies to every type of silver you bring, and you receive the same level of detail and clarity regardless of the form or quantity.

It's Normal to Have Questions Before Selling

People often wonder how silver fineness works, whether tarnished items are still valuable, and what junk silver means. These are practical questions, and the answers help you understand what you have before you decide to sell.

What does .925 or sterling silver mean?
Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. It is marked .925 and is the most common purity for silver jewelry and flatware.
How do you calculate the value of my silver?
We weigh your silver in grams, confirm the fineness, and calculate value based on the current spot price per troy ounce of fine silver. We show you the numbers and explain how they connect to your offer.
What are junk silver coins, and do you buy them?
Junk silver coins are U.S. coins dated 1964 and earlier that contain 90% silver. Some half dollars from 1965 to 1970 contain 40% silver. We buy these based on silver content, not face value.
Does tarnish or damage affect the value of my silver?
No. We buy silver based on metal content, not appearance. Tarnished, scratched, or damaged silver is valued the same way as polished or intact items of the same purity and weight.
Why does the price of silver change?
Silver is traded globally, and the spot price fluctuates based on market demand, industrial use, and economic conditions. Your offer reflects the live price at the time of your visit in Twin Falls.
