Common questions

Do old UK coins contain silver?

UK silver coins dated before 1920 are 92.5% silver, and those from 1920 to 1946 are 50% silver. From 1947, UK coins are cupronickel with no precious metal value. We test every coin and will tell you exactly what you have.

Are proof or collectible silver coins worth more?

Proof and limited-edition coins can carry premiums above their silver content depending on condition and demand. We assess each coin individually and factor any numismatic value into our offer.

Yes. Send us everything. We sort, weigh and value each type separately and give you a full breakdown with an offer for each category.
