What makes secondhand silver coins so attractive?
Second-hand silver is a smart choice for long-term investors seeking the best price per gram. The primary advantage of a pre-owned silver coin is its favorable pricing. Because these coins are repurchased through our procurement channel, they qualify for the VAT margin scheme. This means you do not pay the standard 21% VAT on the total value of the coin, which often impacts the price of new silver coins. The intrinsic value, however, remains unchanged: a pre-owned coin contains exactly the same amount of silver (99.9%) as a newly minted one.
Proof of purchase
At The Silver Mountain, all pre-owned silver coins are meticulously tested for weight and purity. With your purchase, you receive a proof of purchase confirming that the coins have been professionally verified for authenticity before being handed over to you.
Guaranteed quality through our own inspection
When buying pre-owned silver coins, certainty is essential. Since we source these coins directly through Inkoop Edelmetaal, we have full oversight of their quality. Our specialists test every incoming coin using professional equipment, such as the GVS tester. We verify not only the net weight but also the exact metal composition. Only specimens that fully meet our quality standards are offered for resale. This allows you to combine price advantages with the trusted reliability of The Silver Mountain.
Immediately available and flexible in sales
Our stock of second-hand silver changes daily and depends on current market supply. This provides the opportunity to enter the market at strategic moments at rates often lower than the standard market price for new silver. Although the coins have been previously owned, their tradability remains identical.
When you decide to sell your silver in the future, you benefit from our full buy-back guarantee. You can always offer your coins back to us at a fair bid price linked to the current silver spot price.
