Sell Silver Bars & Rounds in Metro Detroit — Paid Today at Westland Exchange
Generic silver rounds and poured or minted bars are pure silver by weight — usually .999 fine — and they trade close to the silver market with a small premium. We buy 1 oz rounds, 10 oz bars, kilo bars and 100 oz bars, and we pay on weight and purity, same day.

What decides what we pay for silver bars & rounds
- 1Stated weight and fineness, verified by scale and test

- 3Vintage poured bars, which have a collector following beyond silver
- 4Condition — heavy tarnish is fine, but damage or drilled bars need testing
When you bring silver bars & rounds to our counter at 27842 W. Warren Ave in Westland, the first thing we do is establish exactly what it is. Nothing is quoted from across the room and nothing is quoted from a photograph. We work at the counter with you standing there, and we explain each step as we go — what we are testing, what the test told us, and what it means for the number we are about to write down.
The single biggest factor on silver bars & rounds is stated weight and fineness, verified by scale and test. After that comes recognized mints (engelhard, johnson matthey, sunshine, asahi) which carry a better premium, and at the far end of the list sits condition — heavy tarnish is fine, but damage or drilled bars need testing — the part most sellers never hear about anywhere else, because most buyers would rather pay a flat rate and move you along. We would rather show our work, because customers who understand the offer come back, and this shop has run on repeat customers since 1987.

1 oz rounds are the most common. A 100 oz bar weighs about 6.9 pounds. Vintage Engelhard and JM poured bars regularly sell above generic silver. That range is why we ask you to bring everything rather than picking out the pieces you assume are best. The item that looks least impressive in the drawer is frequently the one carrying the most value, and sorting it out costs you nothing.
How to spot it
Where to look for the marks
Weight and fineness are stamped directly: '1 TROY OZ .999 FINE SILVER'. Serial numbers appear on larger bars.
What to bring
- Valid state ID
- All coins, including partial rolls and loose silver
- Any certification slabs, albums or inventory lists
There is never any obligation. We will test silver bars & rounds, tell you the number, and hand it straight back if you would rather think about it, shop the offer around, or keep it. Plenty of people do exactly that and come back a week later — that is completely fine, and you will get the same welcome the second time.
Sell it outright
Coin collections are often pawned rather than sold — you get the liquidity without breaking up a set you spent years building.
We are open monday – friday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM, with free parking right at the door and no appointment needed. If you would like a sense of the number before you drive over, call (734) 425-0450 and describe what you have, or send photos through the quote form and we will come back to you the same day.
Or pawn it and keep it
If you would rather not part with it permanently, a pawn loan on silver bars & rounds gives you cash today while the item stays tagged and insured in our vault. No credit check, nothing reported to any bureau, and the item comes back the moment the loan is repaid. We will lay out both numbers — the outright offer and the loan amount — and let you choose.

FAQ
Silver Bars & Rounds questions, answered.
Do you buy generic silver rounds?+
Yes. They're .999 silver and we pay on weight — generic rounds carry a smaller premium than Eagles but they're straightforward to transact.
Is a tarnished silver bar worth less?+
No. Tarnish is surface oxidation and doesn't change the silver content. Don't polish it — you'll just remove metal.
Do you buy 100 oz bars?+
Yes. For large bars please call ahead so we have the funds on hand when you arrive.
