Sell silver cutlery. An honest answer: solid or plated?

The most common misconception concerns the number 90. It is a plating designation, not fineness: around 90 grams of silver were electroplated onto 24 pieces. This plated cutlery, including 100 plating, has only a thin coating and therefore almost no material value.

You can recognise solid silver cutlery by fineness marks such as 800, 835 or 925, often accompanied by a crescent and crown. Only this solid silver has genuine buying value. Read more in the glossary entry on silver tableware.

For solid cutlery, weight counts: today's silver price × fineness × grams. A complete 800 silver service can weigh several kilograms, quickly adding up to an attractive amount. Estimate it in advance with our silver calculator. Please note: knife blades are often steel with filled silver handles. We account for this fairly in our valuation.

Bring your cutlery just as it is, in its case, in a drawer or loose. We examine every piece, check marks, separate solid from plated silver and weigh the solid silver in front of you. This gives groups of heirs from Nordhorn, Lingen and Bad Bentheim a clear view of what each piece is worth.

If you accept, we pay immediately. Have other silver too? Our Silver buying covers coins, bars and jewellery in the same visit.
