How do you recognise 900 silver?
Look for the stamp 900 – usually on the rim or the underside of an object, or on the back of a piece of jewellery. That number stands for the quantity of thousandths of pure material: 900 means 90% silver.
Coins often carry no fineness stamp at all. In that case we measure the fineness with an acid test or – with valuable pieces – with X-ray analysis. That last method is non-destructive: your piece stays intact.
Where you come across 900 silver
Nine hundred thousandths is the classic coin fineness. It was the standard of the Latin Monetary Union, of which Belgium was a part as well, and you therefore find it in many older Belgian and French silver pieces. American coin silver sits at this fineness too.
With coins the collector’s value sometimes counts alongside the silver. A common piece in worn condition is material; a rare year or a coin in uncirculated condition can be worth more as a coin than as silver. We assess both sides and bid on the higher.
So do not polish a coin before you come by. With silverware polishing costs only a little silver, but with a coin it costs the collector’s value – scratches from a cloth cannot be undone.
What you see here is the pure material value. 90% 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 900
What does the stamp 900 on silver mean?
It means that 900 of every 1000 parts by weight are pure silver, or 90%. That is the classic coin fineness: it was the standard of the Latin Monetary Union, of which Belgium was a part as well, and American coin silver sits at this fineness too.
What is a gram of 900 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 90%, times the weight of your piece. The table above shows that for one to a hundred grams.
Can a coin be worth more than the silver in it?
Yes, and with 900 that happens regularly. A common piece in worn condition is simply material, but a rare year or a coin in uncirculated condition can be worth considerably more as a coin than as silver. We assess both sides and bid on whichever outcome is the higher.
Should I clean my coins before I come by?
Please do not. With silverware polishing costs you only a thin layer of silver, but with a coin it costs the collector’s value on top of that, and the scratches a cloth leaves behind cannot be undone. We would rather see a coin dark and untouched than bright and rubbed.
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.
