Absolutely! Sterling silver flatware can be a great way to make extra money, especially if you have vintage or antique pieces. Many people don’t realize that old silverware, whether inherited or found at thrift stores and estate sales, can hold significant value.
Why Sterling Silver Flatware is Valuable
- Intrinsic Silver Value – Since sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, its scrap value alone can be worth a decent amount, especially when silver prices are high.
Where to Sell Your Sterling Silver Flatware
- Houston Gold Exchange, 12513 Westheimer Rd, Ste A, Houston, Texas 77077
- Scrap Silver Buyers – If your flatware is not a sought-after pattern, selling for scrap value can still bring in good money.
How to Identify Sterling Silver Flatware
- Look for markings like “Sterling”, “925”, or brand hallmarks. If it just says “Silverplate” or has no markings, it’s likely not solid sterling.
- Older pieces may have worn-down markings, so researching the brand and pattern is key.
