Sealed Boxes — The Cheapest Silver to Lend Against
A sealed mint box of 500 coins is the easiest silver there is to handle. The seal is intact, the count is known, and verification takes minutes rather than hours.
Tell us the form as well as the quantity. With silver, form changes the number more than people expect.

Why sealed is worth money
Every hour of handling on a silver holding is a cost that lands somewhere. Loose silver has to be counted, weighed and assessed. A sealed box is verified by seal integrity, mint mark and count. That difference is real, and on a large holding it is the difference between a straightforward transaction and a day of work.
What we check
- Seal integrity — an opened box is treated as loose silver.
- Mint and year, which affect handling but not metal content.
- Box count against your declared quantity.
- Weight verified on a sample basis where seals are intact.
- Condition of the boxes themselves, since they will be stored and returned.
How we handle it
- 01Tell us the mint, the year and the box count.
- 02Estimate against live spot at our advance rate.
- 03Insured freight — weight matters here, so it is arranged carefully.
- 04Verification by seal and count on arrival.
- 05The same boxes returned on repayment, seals intact.
Do not open the boxes to count them before shipping. An intact seal is worth more to the process than your own count is, and once it is broken the holding is handled as loose silver from that point on.
Said plainly
Where we stop
At current prices the $23,000 collateral minimum is a substantial quantity of silver. If you hold less than that, we are not a realistic option and selling or a smaller facility elsewhere will serve you better.
FAQ
Common questions
- Should I open the boxes to check?
- No. An intact seal speeds verification and keeps the handling cost down. Once opened it is treated as loose silver.
- Does the mint matter?
- For handling and liquidity, slightly. For metal content, not at all.
- How is it shipped?
- Insured freight, arranged carefully — silver is heavy and shipping it is a real logistical step.
- Do I get the same boxes back?
- Yes, the same boxes with seals intact.
Silver realities
Volatility & Margin Calls
Silver moves more than gold. The same 65% advance therefore has less room before the loan-to-value goes out of range.

Bulk & Freight
The same value in silver occupies roughly seventy times the volume of gold. Everything downstream of that — freight, handling, storage — follows from it.

The Gold-Silver Ratio
A question we get often from people holding both, and the honest answer has nothing to do with predicting the ratio.

Storage Economics
Storage is priced on space and handling rather than on worth, which is why silver storage costs more per dollar stored than gold does.

Liquidity at the End
Every secured facility ends one of two ways: you repay, or the collateral is sold. It is worth understanding in advance how quickly your particular silver would move.

Silver Bars
Bars are the most storage-efficient form of silver, and the larger the bar the better the economics — right up until you want to sell part of it.

Rounds & Generic Silver
Privately minted rounds are pure metal exposure with no sovereign premium, which makes them straightforward collateral and slightly less liquid at sale.

Junk Silver & 90% Coin
Pre-1965 US 90% coin is genuine silver collateral and the most labor-intensive form of it. It arrives loose, it has to be weighed, and worn coins contain less silver than new ones.
