Silver is measured in fineness rather than karat. Multiply the calculator result by the purity below to get the melt value of a specific piece.
| Fineness | Per gram | Typically found in |
|---|---|---|
| Fine silver (.999) | $2.08 | bullion bars and rounds |
| Britannia (.958) | $2.00 | UK Britannia coins and some flatware |
| Sterling (.925) | $1.93 | most jewellery, cutlery and hollowware |
| Coin silver (.900) | $1.88 | pre-1965 US dimes, quarters and half dollars |
| Continental (.800) | $1.67 | much European flatware |
Weigh it, then multiply the weight by the silver price and by its purity. Sterling is 92.5% silver, so 100 g of sterling contains 92.5 g of pure silver. The calculator above does this for you.
At the current spot price of $64.83 per troy ounce, sterling silver (.925) is worth about $1.93 per gram, against $2.08 for fine silver.
No. Dealers pay a percentage of melt value to cover refining, assay and margin, and the percentage is usually lower for silver than gold because the value per gram is so much smaller. Antique or hallmarked pieces may be worth more than melt.
