- The buy premium — compare the percentage above spot, not the raw price. The larger the format, the lower the premium.

- Certificate and seal — a certified bar (LBMA) is bought back without a doubt discount. Keep invoices and packaging.
- Fine silver weight — on buyback, only pure metal counts (925 vs 999). Beware of a "gross weight" offer.
