Selling silver in San Diego

Sterling flatware and tea services are common in older San Diego homes, especially in Point Loma, Kensington and La Jolla. Coin collections often include rolls of pre-1965 silver and Silver Eagles.

Look for stamps like Sterling or 925. Silver plate, often marked EP or EPNS, holds very little silver.

Bring everything, even if you are not sure what it is.
