Silver coins are one of those things people often underestimate. Whether you’ve got a handful of old Australian coins, a collection built over decades, or a few inherited pieces you’re not sure about, VINTARI buys silver coins in Adelaide at live market rates.
Silver coins are valued on their actual silver content, not their face value or age. We test every coin with a certified Vanta XRF Analyser, weigh it on calibrated scales, and show you the silver content reading before you decide anything. The offer is based on live spot prices, and our margin is a transparent 93%.
Pre-decimal Australian coins often contain significant silver content and are among the most common coins we see. This includes sixpences, shillings, florins and crowns.
We buy modern Australian silver bullion coins, including the Australian Silver Kangaroo and Perth Mint issues, valued on silver content and live market pricing.
We buy internationally minted silver coins, including American Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Austrian Philharmonics and other recognised silver bullion coins.
Commemorative issues, proof coins and older collector pieces are all assessed on silver content. If you’re not sure what you have, we’ll identify it on the spot.
A lot of people come in with coins they’ve found in an old tin or inherited from a family member, not knowing whether they have something valuable. At VINTARI, we identify each coin, confirm the silver content using our XRF analyser, and explain exactly what it’s worth at today’s rates. There’s no pressure to sell.
