Bullion silver is simple: a Silver Eagle or a 1 oz round is one troy ounce of .999 silver. Older U.S. coinage takes a little arithmetic, and these are the standard figures a dealer works from.
Every $1 of face value in dimes, quarters or halves contains about 0.7234 troy oz of silver when new. A $10 face-value roll of quarters is roughly 7.2 oz.
About 0.7734 troy oz of silver in each dollar coin.
About 0.1479 troy oz of silver each.
35% silver, about 0.0563 troy oz each. Look for the large mintmark above Monticello.

Cash is the usual way a transaction is settled, and a single ounce of gold is routinely paid out in cash on the spot. For a larger amount it depends on how much cash is in the shop that day, so a bigger payout may be written as a check instead, and those clear quickly. If you are bringing in a large lot, call ahead at (303) 578-8288 and we will tell you what to expect.
