If you have large quantities of industrial scrap or "junk" silver (pre-1965 coins), selling directly to a refinery can bypass retail markups. š¤ Private Sales & Marketplaces
Major companies like JM Bullion and APMEX are top choices for selling coins, bars, and rounds. They offer "locked-in" prices based on current market rates and often pay 90-95% of the "spot" price.
These are best for convenience but may offer lower payouts due to higher business overhead.
These are generally the safest and most reliable options for high-value items or investment-grade bullion.
The fastest way to get cash, but they often pay significantly lessāsometimes only 50-75% of the spot price. Use them only if you need money immediately and cannot wait for a dealer's appraisal.
Ideal for immediate payment and face-to-face interaction. They are particularly busy right now due to historic high prices.
