Silver Bullion Prices Today, Buying and Selling in Mobridge, SD
If you're sitting on silver rounds, old coins, sterling jewelry, or a collection you've been holding for years, you're probably wondering what it's worth right now — and where you can actually sell it without driving to Bismarck or Aberdeen. This page gives you the current spot price, what affects your offer, and exactly how the process works at Larsen's in Mobridge.
We're the only full-service silver buyer within approximately 90 miles of Mobridge. Whether you're selling a single silver ring or a box of pre-1965 coins, here's what you need to know before you come in.
What Is Silver Selling For Today?
To put that number in context: silver was trading around $33/oz just one year ago. The run-up has been dramatic, driven by a structural supply deficit, surging industrial demand, and investor appetite for safe-haven assets amid geopolitical uncertainty. Silver hit an all-time nominal high of $121.67 in late January 2026 before pulling back to the current range.
Why Silver Prices Are This High Right Now
Without giving investment advice, it helps to understand what's driving prices so you can make an informed decision about whether to sell, hold, or buy.
What Silver Items We Buy in Mobridge
You don't need pristine collector coins to have valuable silver. Here's what we commonly evaluate at Larsen's — and how each type is priced.
Silver rounds and bars
One-ounce .999 fine silver rounds — whether generic or name-brand — are the most straightforward to price. They're already stamped with weight and purity, so the math is simple: current spot price applied to confirmed weight. The same applies to 10 oz bars, kilo bars, and other stamped bullion. We weigh everything in front of you.
American Silver Eagles
The most widely traded silver coin in the US and the most recognized. Eagles typically carry a small premium above spot due to their government backing, liquidity, and collector demand. If you have a roll or a tube, bring them in — they're easy to evaluate.
Pre-1965 US coins ("junk silver")
Dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars minted before 1965 are 90% silver. "Junk silver" is a market term — it doesn't mean the coins are worthless. At current spot prices, a common-date Morgan dollar contains about 0.77 troy oz of silver, worth roughly $60+ at today's rates. A roll of pre-1965 Washington quarters has real metal value. Bring in whatever you have — coffee cans, jars, old mint sets — and we'll show you the math.
Sterling silver jewelry and flatware (925)
Pieces stamped 925, "sterling," or "ster" are 92.5% pure silver. Broken chains, mismatched earrings, old flatware sets, and single pieces all have melt value. At $79/oz spot, sterling pays out significantly more than it did a year ago. You don't need a full set or perfect condition — broken and incomplete pieces are welcome.
Other government-issued silver coins
Canadian Maple Leafs, Austrian Philharmonics, Mexican Libertads, and similar government-minted coins are all welcome. We evaluate both metal content and, where relevant, any collector premium above melt value.
How Spot Price Affects Your Offer
Spot price is the global market rate for one troy ounce of pure silver, set in real time by commodity exchanges. When you bring silver to Larsen's, here's how spot price translates into your actual offer:
- Purity first — a .999 fine silver round pays at a higher percentage of spot than a sterling piece (92.5% pure), because the silver content differs. We confirm purity through visible stamps and, when needed, testing.
- Weight in troy ounces — silver is measured in troy ounces (31.1 grams each), not standard ounces. We weigh everything on a calibrated scale in front of you and show you the number before any offer is made.
- Spot at time of transaction — the offer is based on the current spot price the day you come in, not a fixed price quoted in advance. Silver moves daily, sometimes significantly. For large quantities, call ahead so we can discuss timing.
- Collector premium on some coins — certain coins have value above their silver melt — key dates, mint marks, or high-grade examples. We evaluate both dimensions and explain which applies to your specific coins.
