Why the metal price is only part of the story

A lower silver price matters most for silver that is sold purely as metal. Much of the silver families own is worth more as an antique: a Georgian teapot, a Victorian card case, a canteen of cutlery or a signed piece by a known maker is valued for its maker, its date and its condition, not just its weight. And some of what looks like silver is silver plate, which has very little metal value at all.

Check the marks before you sell anything for cash.

Before you sell

Look for a lion passant or a 925 or Sterling mark. EPNS or A1 means silver plate. Do not polish anything first. Send us a photograph of the piece and its marks for a free valuation, see us by appointment, or sell by post with free insured collection.
