Sell silver in Nordhorn. Honestly weighed, fairly paid.

Der Goldmann is your place to sell silver in Nordhorn and throughout Grafschaft Bentheim. Bring your silver to our certified scale in person and watch every step of the valuation, rather than sending it uncertainly by post to an anonymous online service. Especially for inherited pieces from Nordhorn, Lingen, Bad Bentheim or Schüttorf, many people value an in-person inspection more than a few cents' price difference.

Nordhorn's location close to the Dutch border brings many customers from around Oldenzaal and Enschede too. Whether you are from Nordhorn itself or the surrounding area of Lower Saxony, you can visit without an appointment. Testing and valuation of your silver are always free.

Silver's material value depends on fineness, the proportion of pure silver in the alloy. This is stamped into the item as a small hallmark. The main finenesses we encounter when buying silver in Nordhorn are:

• 800 silver · classic cutlery and silver tableware, 80.0% pure silver. Read more on our page about selling 800 silver.
• 835 silver · common in older cutlery and watches, 83.5% fine silver.
• 925 sterling silver · the standard for jewellery and Byzantine chains, 92.5% silver. Details on our page about selling 925 silver.
• 999 fine silver · bars and bullion coins, 99.9% pure and closest to spot.

You can estimate today's material value of your silver at any time, without obligation, with our silver calculator . It uses the live market price, giving you a realistic idea before your visit to Nordhorn.

The most common question when selling silver is whether cutlery is real silver or just plated. The difference determines the value. Solid silver tableware carries marks such as 800, 835 or 925 and is paid for by weight at today's price.

Marks such as 90, 100 or “90 silver plating” indicate silver-plated cutlery: only a very thin silver layer has been applied to a base metal. Its material value is so low that buying it is generally not worthwhile. We tell you honestly, rather than offering a few cents for plated items. We are happy to check solid cutlery piece by piece, as collections often contain both types.

Bring your silver just as it is, cleaned or not, sorted or as a whole mixed lot. We examine every piece, check hallmarks, separate plated items and weigh the solid silver in front of you. We then calculate the value transparently: today's silver price × fineness × weight.

If you accept our offer, we pay immediately in cash or by bank transfer. If you also have gold jewellery, coins or bars, we can value them in the same visit. For investment silver, take a look at our page about Silver bars & coins.
