What eBay search can't tell you

The price per ounce

Every listing is worked out per troy ounce of pure silver, postage included: singles, tubes, monster boxes and bags of pre-1947 coins alike.

Melt value and premium

We show what the silver inside is worth at today's price and how much over that each seller is asking. Old British coins are worked out by date: 92.5% silver to 1919, 50% from 1920 to 1946.

The going rate

Each coin type has its own going rate for bullion, proof, circulated and graded coins, so a worn half crown is never compared with a proof.

Safer sellers

New sellers and low feedback are flagged, and prices far under the going rate get a "too good to be true?" warning: fake silver is common.

Junk filtered out

Silver-plated copies, empty boxes, capsules, coin jewellery, gold versions and post-1946 cupro-nickel coins are taken out before anything is priced.

Five countries

Buying silver coins on eBay

What is a fair price for a silver coin?

For bullion coins, judge the premium: the price per ounce over the silver price. Today silver is £43.02 an ounce, and 1oz Britannias on eBay go for about £66.46 an ounce including postage (54% over silver). Old and proof coins carry a collector premium, so compare them with the going rate for the same coin and condition, which every coin page shows.

Which British coins are silver?

Crowns, half crowns, florins, shillings, sixpences and threepences dated up to 1919 are 92.5% silver. From 1920 to 1946 they are 50% silver. From 1947 they are cupro-nickel, with no silver, apart from Maundy money and proof coins struck in silver. Our silver coin checker works it out by date.

Is buying silver on eBay safe?

Mostly, if you buy from sellers with long, high feedback and pay through eBay, which covers you with the eBay Money Back Guarantee. Be wary of prices well under the silver value, stock photos of bullion from new sellers, and listings that say "silver plated", "layered" or "copy". We flag these for you.

Do I pay VAT or capital gains tax on silver coins?

Silver is subject to 20% VAT in the UK when bought new from a dealer, which is part of why the premium is higher than on gold. Britannias and other UK legal tender coins are free of Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. This isn't tax advice: check your own situation.
