Identifying and Selling Your 925 Silver (Sterling Fineness)
925 Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper) for strength and durability. It is one of the most common purities found in high-quality jewelry and, historically, in circulating coins.
If your items have any of the following markings, you likely have 0.925 Sterling Silver:
- Marks: "STERLING," "STER," "925," or "92.5."
We are actively buying all forms of 0.925 silver. Our team has deep knowledge of the specific coins, rounds, and items listed below, ensuring you get an accurate and premium valuation.

- Q: Do you buy damaged or broken Sterling Silver items?
- A: Yes! 0.925 Sterling Silver is valued solely on its metal content and weight, not its condition. We buy broken chains, single earrings, damaged flatware, and worn coins.
- Q: What is the difference between 0.925 and 0.999 silver?
- A: 0.999 silver is "Fine Silver" (99.9% pure) and is typically used for modern investment bullion (like the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf). 0.925 is "Sterling Silver" (92.5% pure) and is commonly used for jewelry and historical coinage due to its added strength. We buy both purities at their respective live market rates.
- Q: How do I get paid?
- A: We offer instant payment through same-day cash, e-transfer, or company cheque. Wire transfers are available for larger transactions. You decide the method that works best for you.
