How the scrap value is worked out
Your item is weighed, the weight is multiplied by its purity (for example sterling silver is 92.5% pure), and the resulting fine silver content is priced at the live spot rate. Most scrap dealers pay around 90–98% of melt value to cover refining costs, and coins or collectable pieces can be worth more than their metal content — so treat this figure as a benchmark, not an offer.
