Quick Guide to Identifying Authentic Silver Coins

Sound (Listening to Identify Silver) Tap lightly with fingertips, producing a clear, soft sound with a long resonance. Dull sound (high lead/copper content) or overly sharp and piercing (modern alloy).
Reeding (Coin Edge Craftsmanship) Evenly distributed and deep reeding, with natural wear and tear from a hundred years of circulation. Rough edges, obvious machine cutting or filing marks, overly sharp.
Weight (Accurate Weighing) Close to the standard 13.4 grams (allowing for slight wear and tear tolerance). Significant weight discrepancy, usually too light (incorrect material) or excessively heavy.

Common FAQs

Will coins graded by PCGS/NGC be more valuable?

Yes. Professional third-party grading (PCGS, NGC, GBCA) significantly increases liquidity and confidence. High-grade coins can double in value. We also accept ungraded coins and provide on-site professional appraisals.

Do you still buy Da Qing Silver Coins / 5 Jiao with wear and scratches?

Yes. The value of silver dollars is primarily based on their condition (from Uncirculated UNC to Good G). Minor wear is normal circulation wear and will be reflected in the appraisal based on its grade; we will not reject them.

I have a large batch of silver dollars. Can you pick them up at my home?

Yes. We offer free door-to-door pickup across Hong Kong. The more you have, the more welcome. We recommend sorting them by variety and year in advance to facilitate quick appraisal by our specialists.
