Get Cash for Your Silver Coins

Old silver coins can be worth far more than their face value. If you have pre-1968 Canadian coins or pre-1965 U.S. coins tucked away in a drawer, inherited as part of an estate, or collected over the years, you may own coins with valuable silver content. Five Star Gold Exchange purchases silver coins based on their precious metal value and offers a straightforward, transparent selling experience.

Whether you're selling a single coin or an entire collection, our team will carefully evaluate your items and provide a competitive offer based on current silver market prices.

Which Silver Coins Do We Buy?

We buy a wide variety of silver coins, including:

  • Pre-1968 Canadian silver coins
  • Pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars
  • Silver dollars
  • Silver commemorative coins
  • Junk silver coin collections
  • Estate coin collections
  • Circulated and uncirculated silver coins

Many Canadian circulation coins minted before 1968 contain silver, although the silver content varies depending on the year and denomination. Likewise, most U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars minted before 1965 are composed of 90% silver, making them popular with both investors and precious metal buyers.

If you're unsure whether your coins contain silver, we're happy to examine them and explain their composition.

How We Determine Value

The value of silver coins depends on several factors, including:

  • Silver content
  • Total weight
  • Current silver spot price
  • Coin denomination and year
  • Overall condition
  • Collector or numismatic value, where applicable

While many older coins are valued primarily for their silver content, some may also carry additional value because of their rarity, demand, or historical significance. During the evaluation process, we'll assess your coins carefully and explain how your offer is calculated.

Our goal is to ensure you understand exactly what you have before making a decision to sell.
