We Buy 5 oz Silver Bars in Boston

The 5 oz bar is the size stackers give as gifts, tuck into starter stacks, and collect by the design — and they come through our door in collections of every size. LBC Pawn Cash For Gold 3% Loans* buys 5 oz silver bars in Boston every week, from a single Pony bar to a full collection built over years.

Text a photo of the front and back of your bar to 857-867-6468 and we will quote you by text before you make the drive. Accept the number and you get paid the same day — cash in hand, or by check if you prefer. Your choice, every time.

How it works

1. Text for a quote first. Front and back photos of your 5 oz bar to 857-867-6468 — get a real quote by text before you travel.

2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Your bar is weighed and tested at the counter, in front of you.

3. Get paid the same visit. Cash in hand the same day — or a check if you prefer. Rather keep your silver? Borrow against it at 3% per month* and redeem it later.

Why sell your 5 oz bar here?

Mail-in bullion buyers want you to ship your silver across the country, wait for their inspection, and hope the payment matches the quote.

Online marketplaces clip double-digit fees, and shipping silver invites chargebacks and return games.

At LBC Pawn your 5 oz bars are weighed and tested in front of you, priced against the live silver spot price, and paid the same day — cash or check, your choice.

What a loan costs — in plain numbers

That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. No hidden fees, no surprises — the full cost is printed on your ticket.

*Pawn loans: 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only. Example: a $100 loan costs $111 after month 1, $114 after month 2, $117 after month 3 and $120 after month 4. Loans run up to 4 months and may be renewed by paying the interest due. Borrowers must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Items not redeemed by the end of the loan term may be sold as allowed by Massachusetts law.

More silver and gold we buy

One bar, one visit — or bring the whole stack. Estates and full collections are priced piece by piece.

Questions we hear

How do I get a quote for my 5 oz silver bar?

Text a photo of the front and back of the bar — plus the assay card if you have it — to 857-867-6468. We reply with a quote based on the live silver spot price, and the final number is confirmed at the counter after a quick test in front of you.

Do I get paid in cash or by check?

Your choice. We pay cash in hand the same day, or write you a check if you prefer — same visit, no waiting, no payment holds.

Does my 5 oz bar need its assay card or original packaging?

No. Sealed bars with assay cards are welcome, but every bar is tested on our Sigma Metalytics verifier at the counter either way, so loose and secondary-market bars are priced just as fairly.

Can I borrow against my 5 oz silver bar instead of selling it?

Yes. Loans run at 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge), up to 4 months and renewable — your bar is tagged and stored securely until you redeem it.
