What's My Sterling Silver Worth?

For example, if silver is trading at $40 per troy ounce, one troy ounce of sterling silver contains approximately $37.00 worth of silver before refining and processing costs are considered. As silver market prices move, sterling silver values can increase or decrease accordingly.

How Do I Know If My Silver Is Real?
Determining whether silver is genuine can be difficult without professional testing equipment. Many silver items may appear similar on the surface while containing different metal compositions. Xchange Metal uses advanced XRF testing technology to analyze silver content and provide accurate precious metal evaluations. You can always feel confident knowing your silver is professionally tested and transparently evaluated.
Professional XRF Silver Testing
Xchange Metal uses advanced XRF technology to identify silver content and analyze metal composition. XRF testing provides fast, accurate results without damaging the item being evaluated.
Verify Sterling Silver Content
Sterling silver is commonly marked with 925, Sterling, or similar hallmarks, but markings alone do not guarantee silver content. Professional testing helps verify the actual metal composition.
Non-Destructive Precious Metal Analysis
XRF testing allows silver items to be evaluated without cutting, filing, or damaging the material. This provides an accurate analysis while preserving the condition of the item.
Feel Confident In Your Evaluation
Whether you are selling sterling silver jewelry, silver flatware, bullion, coins, or industrial silver materials, Xchange Metal provides transparent testing and evaluations so sellers can understand exactly what they have before making a selling decision.
