The Best Place to Sell Silver Coins in Los Angeles
South Bay Coin is a coin store, not just a precious metals buyer. Pawn shops and "cash for silver" businesses weigh your coins and pay melt value. We evaluate every coin individually, checking date, mintmark, and condition, because a single coin can be worth far more than its silver weight alone. That level of attention is why sellers from Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes, and across LA County consistently get higher offers at our counter.
Licensed, bonded, and insured since 1980. Over 400 five-star Google reviews. We also buy gold coins, gold jewelry, platinum, Rolex watches, and luxury watches. Bring everything in one visit for a free, no-obligation appraisal.

How Much Are Silver Coins Worth?
Every silver coin has a baseline melt value determined by its silver content and the live spot price. A pre-1965 U.S. quarter contains approximately 0.18 troy ounces of silver. At today's prices, that single quarter is worth many times its 25-cent face value. Morgan silver dollars, Peace dollars, Walking Liberty half dollars, and American Silver Eagles all carry different weights and purities, so values vary by type.
Some silver coins are worth significantly more than melt. Key dates, low-mintage years, Carson City mintmarks, proof finishes, and PCGS or NGC graded coins can carry premiums that a melt-only buyer would miss entirely. The only way to know what your coins are worth today is a hands-on evaluation. Bring them to our Lawndale showroom, or text photos to (310) 363-2697 for a quick estimate.

Live Precious Metal Spot Prices
Updated every 60 seconds during market hoursSell Junk Silver and Constitutional Silver Coins
Pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars (including Walking Liberty, Franklin, and standing Liberty types) contain 90% silver. These are commonly called "junk silver" or "constitutional silver" because they circulated as everyday currency. The name is misleading. At current silver prices, these coins are worth many times their face value. We buy them by the bag, roll, or individual coin.
Kennedy half dollars minted 1965 through 1970 contain 40% silver and are also worth well above face value. Many people have these sitting in jars, drawers, or inherited collections without realizing what they are worth. Bring them to South Bay Coin and find out. Call (310) 363-7808 or walk in for a free count and appraisal.

American Silver Eagles

What Our Silver Sellers Say
Why Now Is the Best Time to Sell Silver Coins
Silver hit an all-time high of approximately $121 per ounce in January 2026 and is currently trading around $73 to $76 per ounce as of April 2026. One year ago, silver was around $30 to $32 per ounce. That is an increase of over 150% in roughly twelve months. For anyone holding silver coins, bars, or bullion, current prices represent one of the strongest selling opportunities in the metal's history.
Silver's rally is driven by a combination of industrial demand and investment demand. Silver is a critical component in solar panels, electric vehicles, electronics, and medical devices, with over 10,000 industrial applications. Mining output has not kept pace with this growing demand, creating a structural supply deficit. At the same time, investors have turned to silver as an inflation hedge, and silver has outperformed gold in percentage terms over the past year.
At current prices, a single pre-1965 U.S. quarter is worth many times its face value. A tube of 20 American Silver Eagles is worth well over $1,400. Silver prices move daily. If your coins have been sitting in a drawer, a safe, or a coffee can, now is the time to find out what they are worth. Call (310) 363-7808 for a free quote based on today's live spot price.

Common Questions About Selling Silver Coins
Bring your Silver Eagles to South Bay Coin in Lawndale. We verify authenticity, check for key dates (like the sought-after 1996 issue), and make an offer based on today's silver spot price. Singles, tubes, or monster boxes. Cash paid the same day.

Pre-1965 U.S. coins (also called constitutional silver) contain 90% silver. Their value changes with the live silver spot price. At current prices, a single pre-1965 quarter is worth many times its 25-cent face value. Bring your coins in for an exact count and payout based on today's market.
Local means same-day cash, no shipping risk, and no chance of a lowered offer after your coins reach a warehouse. Silver is heavy and expensive to insure for shipping. Many national mail-in buyers require minimums and take 10 or more business days to pay. South Bay Coin pays cash the moment you accept the offer, with no minimum quantity.
Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, key-date Walking Liberty halves, 1996 Silver Eagles, Carson City mintmarks, and PCGS or NGC graded coins often trade well above melt. We check every coin so nothing gets overlooked.
