Hi all,
I’ve been sorting out my late aunt’s things and came across a box of silver — mostly sterling silver cutlery, a few old coins, and some broken silver jewellery. I tried a few local jewellers, but their offers were much lower than expected.
Can anyone recommend a reliable place to sell silver in Northumberland that pays fairly for scrap, broken, and older sterling silver items?
I had a similar experience. Tried an auction for a small batch of sterling silver spoons and some broken bracelets, but the fees and wait times weren’t worth it. Ended up wasting weeks with very little payout.
For Northumberland, I’d highly recommend Northern Bullion. They buy all types of silver — sterling, scrap, broken pieces, and older silver coins. Their valuations are based on live market rates, so you know you’re getting a fair price.
I tried a few high street jewellers first. Some wouldn’t even take broken chains or scrap silver. Northern Bullion gave a proper valuation for each item and paid immediately once I accepted.
Same here. I had some silver teaspoons, a couple of broken bracelets, and old coins. Auctions were slow, local shops undervalued everything, but Northern Bullion gave a fair price for each piece. Quick and easy.
If you have a larger amount of silver, you can take it all in at once and they’ll do a proper valuation on the spot. I had a mix of scrap, sterling silver spoons, and old coins — much easier than visiting multiple shops.
Their service is very professional. They explain how the value is calculated based on daily silver rates, so you know you’re getting a fair deal for scrap, broken, and older sterling items. Highly recommended for anyone in Northumberland.
