How do you recognise 833 silver?
Look for the stamp 833 – usually on the underside of a spoon, on the rim of a dish or on the back of a piece of jewellery. That number stands for the quantity of thousandths of pure material: 833 means 83.3% silver.
If there is no stamp at all, we measure the fineness with an acid test or – with valuable pieces – with X-ray analysis. That last method is non-destructive: your item stays intact.
Where you come across 833 silver
Eight hundred and thirty-three is the old Dutch fineness, which you find above all in Dutch tableware and household objects from before the middle of the last century.
With pieces of this kind it pays to look beyond the weight: silverwork by a known master or from a sought-after period can be worth more as an object than as material. The maker’s mark and the date letter tell who made it and when.
We therefore assess both sides and bid on the higher. Above all, do not polish an old piece before you come by; an even patina belongs to it, and polishing it away costs value.
What you see here is the pure material value. 83.3% of the rate, times the weight, with nothing deducted. We fetch that rate from the world market every minute and convert it at the euro rate of that moment.

Questions about Silver 833
What does the stamp 833 on silver mean?
It means that 833 of every 1000 parts by weight are pure silver, or 83.3%. That is the old Dutch fineness, which you find above all in Dutch tableware and household objects made before the middle of the last century, usually alongside a maker’s mark and a date letter.
What is a gram of 833 silver worth?
The amount follows the world market rate and therefore changes every minute; the current figure stands at the top of this page. The calculation itself never changes: the silver rate per gram times 83.3%, times the weight of your piece. The table above shows that for one to a hundred grams.
Can old silver be worth more than its metal?
Yes, and with 833 that happens regularly. Work by a known master or from a sought-after period can be worth considerably more as an object than the silver in it. We assess both sides, look at the maker’s mark and the date letter, and bid on whichever outcome is the higher.
Do I get the same price at a branch as on the website?
Yes, the price you see here is the same price you get at all 45 of our locations. At the table we only still establish the weight and the fineness of your pieces. For the fineness we measure, the price per gram shown on this site is what applies.
