Jamaica Pawn Shop & Gold Buyers pays competitive cash for sterling silver jewelry, flatware, tea sets, coins, and bullion. Silver may not be as expensive as gold, but it still has significant value — especially sterling silver flatware sets and antique silver pieces.

Silver purity is measured differently than gold. Fine silver is 99.9% pure (marked .999), while sterling silver is 92.5% pure (marked 925 or "Sterling"). Silver-plated items have only a thin layer of silver over base metal and have minimal value. We test every item to determine true silver content.

Types of Silver We Buy

We purchase silver in all forms and conditions. Sterling silver flatware sets can be particularly valuable, especially complete sets from makers like Tiffany, Gorham, or Reed & Barton.

Silver coins, including pre-1965 US coins (which contain 90% silver), American Silver Eagles, and foreign silver coins are also purchased at competitive rates based on the current spot price.
