đŸȘ™ Silver Prices Are Surging in 2025—What This Means for You

By July 12, 2025No Comments

If you’ve been paying attention to the precious metals market this year, you’ve probably noticed that silver is on the move—and fast. In 2025, silver has already surged nearly 30% year-to-date, reaching price levels we haven’t seen since 2011.

At Honest Coin Shop in Union City, New Jersey, we’re seeing firsthand what this kind of market activity brings: more sellers, more buyers, and more people wanting to understand the real value of their silver coins, bars, and collections.

Whether you’re holding silver as an investment, inheritance, or part of a coin collection, now is the time to pay attention.

📈 Why Is Silver Going Up?

Several key factors are driving silver’s recent rally:

  • Inflation concerns and market uncertainty – Investors are turning to tangible assets like silver and gold to protect their wealth.

  • Industrial demand – Silver is used in solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronics. As green energy grows, so does silver demand.

  • The gold-silver ratio is tightening – Silver is gaining ground as many believe it’s undervalued relative to gold.

  • Global geopolitical tension – Uncertainty around currencies and governments is pushing more people toward physical silver.

Whatever the combination of factors, one thing is clear: silver is having a strong year, and people are responding.

💰 What This Means for Silver Sellers

If you’ve been holding on to:

  • Pre-1965 U.S. silver coins (90% silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars)

  • Silver rounds or bullion bars

  • Junk silver or “forgotten” silver coins


this could be a very good time to sell.

At Honest Coin Shop, we’re offering competitive, up-to-date pricing based on current market value. We don’t lowball—we appraise fairly and explain everything clearly so you know exactly what you have and what it’s worth.

🧠 What If You’re Not Sure What You Have?

No problem. That’s exactly why we offer professional, appointment-only appraisals. We’ll go through your items, explain the metal content, rarity, and current demand, and give you an honest valuation.

This is especially helpful if:

  • You inherited a coin collection

  • You found silver coins or bars during a cleanout

  • You’re considering selling but don’t want to be taken advantage of

  • You want a second opinion before selling to a pawn shop or online buyer

🛒 What About Silver Buyers and Investors?

If you’re thinking of buying silver, you’re not alone. Many of our regular clients—especially so-called “stackers”—are building up their silver reserves while prices are still within reach. Compared to gold, silver remains relatively affordable while offering similar protection and long-term growth potential.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, we’re happy to walk you through popular silver products like:

  • American Silver Eagles

  • Canadian Maple Leafs

  • Silver rounds and bars

  • Junk silver by face value
