Types silver
The precious metal silver exists in many forms. People come to our shop in The Hague to sell old silver jewellery, sell silver coins, sell silver bears, sell silver-plated cutlery, sell silver cutlery, or sell silver objects. When silver is purchased, all these items yield a nice amount, which is always calculated based on the current daily exchange rate.
To make silver more solid, it is mixed with other metals. Unlike gold, which is referred to as "carat", silver is referred to as "grade". In most jewellery, the silver grade is 92.5%. This is called 925 silver, sterling silver or "first grade". Cutlery often has 83.5% silver and is called 835 silver or "second grade". These numbers can be found in small marks on the items. Second and third grade is mainly used on silver objects or silver tableware. Silver-plated objects have a thin layer of silver on them and the rest of the object is other metal. These contain very little silver, and are therefore worth much less. They can be recognised by the mark 80, 90 or 100.
Silver jewellery, be it silver brooches or silver necklaces, silver charm bracelets, silver rings are usually made of sterling silver as mentioned above. When selling silver coins, for example redeeming a silver guilder or a silver rijksdaalder, silver coins from the Netherlands of, for example, Queen Wilhelmina or Juliana, it is important to know that they have a different grade of pure silver, namely 72%.
Foreign silver coins such as the US silver dollar (also known as the US Silver Eagle) can sometimes be of almost pure silver depending on the year they were produced, but sometimes even only fifty percent silver. The Chinese Silver Panda, the Austrian Philharmoniker, the Canadian Maple Leaf are also very well-known silver coins. The weight of a foreign silver coin is usually 1 ounce, about 31 grams. Would you like to sell silver bars, then it is good to know that they are made of almost entirely pure silver.
Furthermore, many people today are looking for an address to sell silver cutlery or tableware. Silver forks, spoons and knives used to be widely used, but nowadays hardly anyone eats with them. It pays off to trade in this silver cutlery at De Goudwaag, the address for selling silver in The Hague.
