Across the town line, minutes away

Households in Seaford often turn up with a little of everything: a parent's wedding band, some sterling forks, a roll of old dimes. All of it can be handled in a single visit.

Silver and coins from Seaford homes
If you have flatware, look for the word sterling or the number 925 on the back. Silver-plate and EPNS are not solid silver, and you will be told honestly which is which. Read more on our silver page. For dimes, quarters and half dollars dated before 1965, see coins and bullion, and please do not clean them first.

- Flatware in its chest, if it has one
- Coins left in their rolls, albums or jars
Checking silver and gold at the counter
Sterling is identified by its marks and tested where needed, then weighed in plain view. Gold goes through acid and electronic testing for karat. Coins are sorted by date and mint mark, because a few dates are worth far more than their metal.
Each category gets its own figure, so you can sell the flatware and keep the coins, or the other way round.
Before you leave Seaford
Count the flatware pieces and note any monograms; it makes the conversation quicker. Leave coins exactly as they are, in rolls or albums, and do not try to polish tarnish off silver. If you are unsure whether something is sterling or plated, bring it anyway.
Why a counter beats a kiosk
At a counter you can see every reading, ask what a mark means, and keep anything you are not ready to part with. For a mix of silver, coins and gold, that matters, because each is valued differently and a single lump-sum figure would hide the detail.

Do you serve Seaford even though it is in the Town of Hempstead?

Is silver-plate worth bringing?
Silver-plate has little or no silver value, but it is not always easy to tell apart from sterling. Bring it with the rest and it can be checked.
Should I polish tarnished silver first?
No. Tarnish does not change the metal content, so bring it as it is.

Yes. Each category is explained, so you can see where the value is before deciding.
