M. FORD CREECH ANTIQUES

Today’s Escalating Silver Prices

All precious metals are making news today, including silver, the current prices approaching and,

in some cases, surpassing those of 1980. Advertisements abound, suggesting turning your silver

and gold into cash. Please take caution. Before you decide to sell your silver, please contact a silver

expert for an evaluation of the objects under consideration. In the 1980’s, many fine goods were sold

that had more value as a work of artistry than the simple metal weight. In addition, the maker and

dating of the piece may escalate the real value even further. Once melted down, these pieces cannot be

brought back to life. If you wish to benefit from the current value of the metals, there are other

methods of disposal for profit.

I am certain most reputable and knowledgeable silver dealers would be willing to assist you with

proper evaluations, as would we at M. Ford Creech Antiques.
