The silver price per gram is the spot price of silver divided by 31.1035, the number of grams in a troy ounce. Silver trades in troy ounces, but sterling flatware, jewelry, and small bars are weighed in grams, so this is the working number for valuing them. The value shown is for .999 fine silver; sterling is 92.5% silver, so multiply by 0.925 for a gram of sterling.

Silver is quoted worldwide in US dollars per troy ounce, and a troy ounce is 31.1035 grams. Divide the spot price by 31.1035 and you have the price per gram of pure silver. There is no separate gram market; every buyer of scrap or sterling starts from the same ounce quote. A per-gram offer well below this figure is the buyer's margin, not a different market price.
Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, so a gram of sterling contains 0.925 grams of actual silver. Multiply the per-gram value on this page by 0.925 to get the metal value of sterling flatware, jewelry or hollowware. Coin silver from older US pieces is 90%, and most European continental silver is 800 or 835 fine. Weight stamped on a piece is total weight, not silver weight, so apply the purity before valuing it.
One gram silver bars exist mostly as gifts and novelties. Since silver is cheap per gram, minting and packaging dwarf the metal value — a 1 gram bar commonly sells for two to three times its melt value. For anyone buying silver as metal rather than as a keepsake, 1 ounce rounds and bars or 90% junk silver coins are far cheaper per gram. The listings below show real asks from marketplace sellers so the premium is visible before you buy.
About the 1 Gram of Silver
At the current silver spot price of $63.16/oz, the melt value of a 1 Gram of Silver (0.0321507 troy oz, .999 fine silver — 1 gram = 0.03215 troy oz) is approximately $2.03. This updates continuously with the spot price above — sellers on the marketplace typically price above melt value, since the premium covers minting, distribution, and dealer margin.
Melt value is the raw metal content only — what you'd get scrapping the coin. The premium above it pays for minting, distribution, and dealer margin, and on this marketplace specifically, it's set by each individual seller rather than one company's price list, so it's worth comparing a few listings rather than buying the first one you see.
Like any commodity, silver trades on global supply and demand — mine output and recycling on the supply side, industrial use, jewelry, and investment buying on the demand side. Short-term moves are usually driven by macro factors: interest rates, currency strength, and how much uncertainty investors are pricing into markets generally.
Government-minted bullion coins like this one are legal tender, widely recognized, and easy to resell — that recognition is usually worth the modest premium over generic rounds or bars of the same weight. For buyers who want to add to a physical position gradually, one-ounce coins are also just a convenient, liquid unit size.
This page shows melt value — spot price times pure metal content, recalculated on every page load. Individual seller listings add their own premium on top, and that premium (not the melt value) is what actually varies between sellers, so it's normal for listing prices below to sit above the number at the top of this page.
