Hallmarked scrap silver

[theresa]

Can anyone recommend a dealer who will take hallmarked silver items for scrap?
I tried Cookies but they only deal with unhallmarked items.
I have lots of odd napkin rings and bit and pieces from my late in-laws.
Have tried to sell them but proving a long job. Just want them out of way now!
Thanks:)

I include hallmarked items in my Cookies scrap pot every time I send it in. It has to be assayed in the usual way, but I've never had any problem.

Otherwise Hatton Garden Metals are usually a pretty good bet and pay very promptly.

(the silver scrap price is pretty pants at the moment though!)

I would be happy to buy them only problem is the 15,000 odd kilometers

Lao will unmark your marked items (they strike the mark through) and last time I was told this (by steve) it was free

Theresa, take a trip to Hatton Garden with your silver, I am sure that Cooksons or other buyers in the area will buy your hallmarked silver. I told a friend to do this and he went to Cooksons with some hallmarked silver he had been given, and they just weighed it and offered a price which he accepted. Silver should be around 30p. per gram at the moment.
