Silver Selling

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   How much is silver selling for an ounce at this time?
   I have numerous mint silver dollars dated from 1971 .1972 and 1974 I would like to kmow what their worth is by the ounce?

   • ANSWER:
     The price of silver is only an indication of a component of value beyond the face denomination. You need to see a coin dealer (or more) or perhaps try an online auction like ebay.

     Besides, if I gave you the market price it will have changed before the information is posted at my source. The markets are an ongoing thing and prices flop all over the place.

2. QUESTION:
   How do I go about selling physical silver?
   I inherited a "monster box" silver set from a relative. Silver is currently at roughly .00 an ounce, which, I think, makes this worth around ,000. Im curious how one would go about selling this.

   • ANSWER:
     I'll buy it for ,000 if you want to sell it.

     Would just take me a few days to transfer funds into my checking account. I can wire to your account.

     Is the box still sealed?

     I'm a little short right now because I just bought one of these things a few days ago.

     Other than sell it to me, you can sell it to any number of coin and precious metal dealers. One I like is Golden Eagle Coins in Maryland. Their web site is here: http://www.goldeneaglecoin.com/ They buy from investors.

3. QUESTION:
   How is profit made on selling silver tableware to a refinery treated for tax purposes?
   Purchased silver flatware and holloware (mostly dented) for the purpose of reselling to a refinery as scrap silver to make a profit.

   Most of the pieces were purchased 1-2 years ago; a few within the last year. However, it was refined in one batch with one payout.

   Would that profit be treated as ordinary income or capital gain? What are the tax rates?

   If capital gain, how would I separate the profit (payout minus basis) into long term and short term gain since it was refined in one big batch with one payout?

   • ANSWER:
     How much money are we talking here? Is this a profitable endeavor

     Capital gain. the items you purchased more than a year before selllng are long term. and those that you bought less than a year before selling are short term.
     you will enter your purchase date and $ paid for it. Then you enter sales date, which will be same for all entries since you sold all at one time. Do you know the weights of each purchase? You would prorate the total price recieved in the sale by the % of weight that each purchase represents.

4. QUESTION:
   Who esle is selling silver or looking to go short?
   Silver hit .50 an ounce today. Way overpriced in my opinion. If you look at a five day chart, it was just .50 last week. We are not in a good enough market for something like silver to jump that much in a week on ungiven terms. Slv is not the benchmark the world watches like gld or uso.

   • ANSWER:
     If your only analysis is a five day chart, you do not have an investable idea.

     Silver and gold tend to move together for a variety of reasons. Both are viewed as a hedge against expected inflation and dollar weakness. Both are often found in the same rock formations.

     Gold is primarily used in jewelry and coins. Silver has more industrial uses. Look at the supply and demand fundamentals before investing.

     Disclosure: I'm long SLV.

5. QUESTION:
   Which online companies are reliable and have good reviews for selling silver?
   I am planning on buying silver but I can't find any good sites that have good reviews. I have taken a look at some online sites such as Goldline (which i will never buy from due to them having so many bad reviews) and others but most seem to not be reliable. are there any good sites that have a reputation for being reliable?

   • ANSWER:
     What do you mean by 'reliable'? Reliable to me means getting exactly what I buy, hassle-free. You won't have a problem getting what you buy with Goldline.

     Where people run into problems with Goldline is in not knowing what they are doing. They call up and say '"I want to buy gold."

     That's great. Goldline is in the business of selling gold at a profit. Where they make large profits is by selling numismatic coins, that is, coins with collector value that really has nothing to do with the price of gold. Some collector coins have gone up in value along with the gold, but many others have fallen in value. When the economy sours, there is less money for things like collecting rare coins. I know collectors who paid top dollar for some very scarce gold 'Indian Princess' coins from the 1880s - ,000 for one in particular. The market took the price as high as ,000 in 2006; today it's valued at ,000 and would probably sell closer to k - all while the value of the gold in it has at least doubled since 2006.

     When you do not say "I don't want collector coins, I want gold bullion with no additional collector value, and I want to pay as close to 'spot' as I can - what can you do for me?", Goldline will sell you what they can make the most profit from. When you tell them exactly what you want and don't allow yourself to be directed to collector coins, they will sell you bullion. Their price may not be as low as other places, but you won't have any problems buying it and getting it if you use them.

     I suspect the 'bad reviews' you've seen are equal parts ignorant customers who didn't do their homework first and were sold high-markup collector coins which are bought back at steep discounts, so that the doubling in price of gold made them a tiny profit or none at all, and Glenn Beck haters who've never done business with the company and are just trying to damage him by damaging his sponsors.

     If you insist on gold bullion and stick to bars from Pamp Suisse, Suisse Credit, Engelhard, Johnson-Matthey, or bullion coins like American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Austrian Philarmonics, Krugerrands, you shouldn't have a problem.

     Just shop around. Apmex and Kitco are other trustworthy sellers.

6. QUESTION:
   Any suggestions on selling silver since it so high?
   I have old silverware I never use. I was thinking of selling it but am looking for suggestions on best places to sell. A lot of jewelry stores are advertising but since I am a newby, I thought some experienced person would have ideas on how to get the most for my peices.

   • ANSWER:
     Just go to 3 places that advertise and get a price from all 3. Then you can take the best one.

7. QUESTION:
   What is the cost (est.) after all fess of buying/selling silver bullion?
   I ask because I'm told when it is time to sell - the bid prices are two to three dollars less than the spot price. Is this true? If I sold, e.g., one ounce of silver at 40 / ounce spot, would my net AS SELLER be something like 35 after fees and the 'real world' bid price? Help me understand the real world costs here. I'm only looking for hypothetical estimates here, obviously. Thanks.

   • ANSWER:

8. QUESTION:
   At what price do you plan on selling your silver?
   For those who have invested in physical silver, what is your goal price which you will then sell back at for profit?

   • ANSWER:

9. QUESTION:
   would selling 926 sterling silver inspired by designers but not advertsising it as designer legal?
   i want to sell the silver jewelry at flea markets. It is pretty, it does not have any insignia and it is silver.

   • ANSWER:
     Legal would imply that the designer is unable to launch a suit and win.
     Now that would require a test case in court to determine whether the designer can take all of your profits and some punitive damages.

     If the product is a very close copy, it is likely that the designer can and will sue, and win.

10. QUESTION:
    I am trying to start a business selling silver and stainless steel pendants and other jewellery.?
    Does anyone know the quickest and best way to find decent suppliers in the Uk. I have trawled the internet for too long! Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Try calling round some wholesalers and see what they can do? 90% of the time they'll be able to advice when their peak time is for getting the products in, if it's best to buy damaged and repair yourself (this may take time, but can save you a lot of money), and the quantity. Just always consider the delivery charges as these can be costly, and also try eBay unless that's where your planning to sell.

      If I can be any more help just ask, I do run a business that can do research etc, I'll see what discounts I can put your way.

      Hope you find a solution.

15. QUESTION:
    how to know what a 1899 silver dollars worth before selling it?
    i have 2 silver dollar i want to sell but dont want to get taken i just want a fare price

    • ANSWER:
      If the coins have not been cleaned and are damage free the 1899 Morgan dollar in grade very good is worth about 5.00, in grade very fine (two thirds of the hair lines from top of forehead to ear visible, some wear on eagles breast, the value is 5.00. The coin is worth more as the grades get higher. The above prices are around what a dealer would pay. It is always best to go to more than one dealer. The 1899 is not a rare coin but is a scarce one for the mintage was only 330,000 but a lot have survived that is why the coin is not worth more. Hope this helps.

      They aren't very thick on the ground and may take a bit of hunting down.

      Southebys and Christies are both great places to get evaluations to see whether they will accept your silver.

      1. Determine whether your antique silver is sterling silver or silver plated.

      2. Learn as much as you can about the items that you plan to sell by researching the marks on the silver pieces.

      3. Take the antique silver pieces to a reputable antique dealer or an appraiser to find out the value of the silver.

      4. Decide if there is a predetermined amount of money that you want to receive for your antique silver pieces.

      5. Promote your antique silver business by simply having your own website...

21. QUESTION:
    Would you make more money selling silver coins by weight or face value?
    Just wondering
    I mean book value.
    I'm talking coins dated 1964 and earlier

    • ANSWER:
      Face value as in 'a 1930 dime is worth 10 cents'?

      By weight is the answer then without a doubt. Considering silver is floating around bucks an ounce right now, that puts a silver dime around .25 for melt value.

      Granted you won't get quite that out of it when you go to sell it some middle man, but it at least gives you a good baseline.

      edit: Also, make sure you're actually talking about "silver" coins. A 2002 dime is not silver, obviously.

22. QUESTION:
    Do silver coins have more options for selling versus bars?
    I am interested in investing in silver. My question is, in the future, when it comes time to sell, which will be easier to unload, coins or bars. Bars would be more convenient to store and sell in one lump but you could sell the coins at a coin shop right, instead or strictly to a precious metal buyer? Any experienced advice is appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      Certain Silver coins have more collection value Silver Eagles, Morgan Dollars 90% silver, Peace Dollars 90% silver, Australian Kookaburra and so on will carry a Premium over spot, many junk silver(common non key date coins) however will not increase more than the spot price. Many people collect silver art bars and many have a 2 to 3 dollar over spot collector value some bars even higher, like coins they too have a rarity factor. The bottom line is when collecting silver for a investment any purchases you can get under spot price is a good deal. You will can always sell Silver for its melt value.

25. QUESTION:
    How do I go about selling coins that are old? Like silver dollars, quarters, silver certificates.?
    Have a friend that is looking to sell his old coins and silver certificates. How do I go about this without getting ripped off?

    • ANSWER:
      Lot depends on the quality of the coins. If they have a lot of wear then they are most likely more valuable as silver then as Old Coins. You would get the most by selling at a coin show if you want to sell the coins. A dealer will give you an estimate but be aware they want a profit also.
      Of course you can sell them on Ebay.

26. QUESTION:
    buying silver then selling it before Christmas, good investment?
    so if i bought about 300 to 500 dollars worth of silver, then before christmas 2011 sold it all when the price was high would that be a good yearly wait to try and earn a lot more money?

    • ANSWER:
      It's not that easy. I'd recommend checking out experienced investors on this topic. The guy below seems to explain pretty well what's going to eventually happen. Gold will not continue to rise nor will silver indefinitely. As of now, it looks to potentially be a bubble, in the event our economy recovers soon.

      Give the below a read. Good luck! And don't take on too much risk unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing!

28. QUESTION:
    I need cash quick and am considering selling the family silver flatware. Where should i go to sell it quickly?
    Antique flatware - not sure of the time period. Tried to find an antique dealer, but they want to deal on consignment and I don't have time to wait.

    • ANSWER:
      If you cannot wait for the antique dealer, your last resort is the corner pawnshop. But you'll likely receive 10 cents on the dollar for what your flatware is worth.

      better to put an ad in Craigslist or eBay, you will likely do better than a pawnshop.
      ( use the pawnshop quote, then list it for about 4-6 times that amount )
      But, as with the dealer, you may have to wait a bit.

    I seen Pokemon Gold and Silver for the GB selling on Ebay for £40 and people are actually bidding, why ???

    • ANSWER:
      I think there are 3 main reasons. Either:

      1) They're losers, considering that if it's to play you can get used ones cheap.
      2) They're just obsessed collectors who have nothing better to do.
      3) They're people who could potentially make alot of money by saving the games for another decade or so by selling it to options 1 or 2

30. QUESTION:
    What are the best sites for selling a Silver US coin collections?

    • ANSWER:
      If it is common date circulated stuff you could go with ebay or even take it to a local coin dealer. Even if it is not so common stuff you could take it to a local dealer or contact a specialty house such as Heritage Coins or Bowers & Merena. Both of which do online auctions.

      If you have no idea what you have see a local coin dealer, members of a local coin club or an experienced collector to see what they say about the coins. Then you can make a decision on how to handle the sale of the coins.

31. QUESTION:
    how do you calculate the mass in g of 250 billion atoms of silver. If silver is selling for per ounce .....?
    If silver is selling for per ounce how much is it worth? how do oyu arrive at the answer?

    • ANSWER:
      Well you have to use avagadros number which is 6.022*10^23. This number represents how many atoms are in 1 mol of the element. 1 mol equals the molecular weight in grams. In this case, silver weighs 107.87g per mol. so you devide 250,000,000,000 by 6.022*10^23 to get 4.1528*10^-13. Take this times the molecular weight to get the amount of grams which = 4.47*10^-11 grams of silver. As you can see, this isnt very much silver at all and is actually quite negelegible so it is worth nothing.

32. QUESTION:

    give as much detail as you know for fact thank you

    • ANSWER:
      You'll definitely get less than spot....to get spot would be to get full retail price back for your items which isn't realistic. Find a place though that will pay you as close to spot as possible....check out the Silver And Gold Exchange. I found them to be a really great company - one of the honest guys in this business. I was very pleased! http://silverandgoldexchange.com

42. QUESTION:
    What does it mean to short sell silver?
    I've heard that some people suspect that the price of silver may be manipulated by companies like JP Morgan. Would this mean that companies are selling silver that they do not have and can not deliver? If companies are manipulating silver would it be up to the SEC to intervene?

    • ANSWER:
      Silver is traded in the futures market. Futures are contracts that give the buyer the right to buy a certain amount of silver (in this case) from a potential seller of the future contract at a specific price. In the futures market, market participants can buy and sell silver contracts and other future contracts without actually ever intending to deliver the underlying obligation. People can 'Close Out' their position before actually having to deliver the underlying asset. Therefore, potentially anyone can trade future contracts without ever having a stake in a silver mine.

      Potential manipulation of the market would be up to the SEC to determine. However, it could be difficult to prosecute depending on the case brought forth from the SEC. Normally, the SEC will have to have credible evidence that investors were unjustly hurt by some type of market manipulation.

      I can't blame you for asking this question. I am very disapointed in his lack of doing any thing about illigal immigration. And the way those two border patrolmen where treated when they tried to aprehend a drug smuggler caught in the act of smuggling all that pot into the U.S. shows me how retarted our system has become. America is no more as it once was. When so many in congress can't even agree to vote English as our national language something is very wrong. Here is a list of senators who voted against having english as our nations language.

      The following Senators voted against having english as the official language of America :

      Alaska (D-HI)
      Bayh (D-IN)
      Biden (D-DE)
      Bingaman (D-NM)
      Boxer (D-CA)
