Silver has been used in trades and monetary systems for thousands of years. Before selling your valuable silver to your silver buyers, take a moment to learn about the intriguing history of silver:
Old World
Anatolia, now modern day Turkey, is considered the first large-scale source of mined silver, dating back to approximately 4000 BCE. Silver became both a medium of exchange as well as a component in jewelry. While it wasn’t until after 3000 BCE that a concerted effort to mine silver took place, there were still mines dispersed across the world. Perhaps the most notorious was located in Greece, where silver was actively mined between 500 BCE and 100 AD.
New World
Between the 16th and 19th centuries, significant advancements in technology led to increased silver production worldwide. By the 16th century, Spanish conquistadores had discovered New World mines in Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia, which turned Central America and South America into the silver hubs of the world. In fact, Spanish records suggest that approximately one billion troy ounces were produced in the span of three centuries alone. Mexico, Bolivia, and Peru ultimately accounted for in excess of 85% of the world’s trade and production in this timeframe.
Modern Era
It wasn’t until the late 19th century that the United States became a factor in silver mining. At that time a large silver deposit was discovered in Nevada, thus propelling the United States to the top producer in the world. In the early 20th century, Mexico and Peru once again supplanted the United States as the top silver producer. As a whole, production worldwide increased substantially in the 1920s as a result of bulk mining methods and refined extraction techniques, among other technological advances.

Ancient civilizations dating as far back as 4000 BCE used gold to create stunning decorative items and jewelry. While plenty has changed in the world since that time, one thing hasn’t: Gold is still immensely desirable. In fact, the value of gold is extremely high right now, making it the perfect time to get cash for your gold. Explore some of the different forms of gold before bringing yours in to your gold buyer:
Filled Gold
Gold-filled jewelry comes to life when pressure and heat bond together a solid layer of gold to a base metal. In essence, gold-filled jewelry is any material in which a sheet of gold is heat-fused or mechanically bonded to a surface. While the thickness of the layer of gold can vary substantially, the base metal to which the gold is bonded will most often be brass or copper.
Rolled Gold
Gold-filled jewelry is often referred to as “rolled gold,” but one important distinction separates the two. Whereas the contents in filled gold are especially crowded and thus contain less surface area, rolled gold involves spreading gold out thinly, thus creating a much larger surface area.
Plated Gold
Gold-plated jewelry is designed to look like genuine gold without being constituted as such. The process of creating gold-plated jewelry is simply depositing thin layers of gold onto copper and silver. The layer of gold applied to the metal item is especially thin, however, which makes it susceptible to wear more quickly than gold-filled items.
