Turn into a silver unit.
SaveSilver slabs constitutional 90% silver into a consistent trading format: coins from the same year and same mint, sealed in a professional EdgeView holder, and verifiable by NFC/QR with an optional blockchain certificate (NFT).
Why SaveSilver
Stackers often face wide spreads when it’s time to sell. Our goal is to standardize the unit, make authenticity effortless, and bring fairer price discovery to constitutional silver.
Standardize the trade
The market understands spot per ounce — but constitutional silver is traded by face value and condition. SaveSilver packages a familiar $1.40 face unit into a repeatable format.
Make verification trivial
Each slab is serialized and NFC/QR verified. Tap or scan to open a verification page that confirms the set format, year/mint, and certificate status.
Trade verified-only
A marketplace built for these slabs means listings can be pre-filled from the slab serial, with authenticity checks required before a trade completes.
Spot vs. offer (quick sanity check)
Use this simple calculator to understand the spread you’re seeing. (This is a planning tool — not live market data and not financial advice.)
What we’re building
SaveSilver doesn’t “fix” prices — it builds a platform for transparent, verified trading where sellers can show what they have, buyers can verify what they’re buying, and spreads have less room to hide.
Note: constitutional silver contains historical coins; value depends on condition, rarity, demand, and market conditions.
The slabs
Two slab formats cover common “one-ounce class” constitutional sets. Each slab keeps coin edges inspectable via 4‑point rim contact, and uses a large, readable label for year/mint and identifiers.
Half‑Dollar Edition
$1.40 Face in a clean, symmetrical format. Great for Kennedy/Franklin/Walking Liberty-era sets.
Quarter Edition
A more “stacker-familiar” feel: quarters in the center with dime pairs above and below.
Built like a real grading holder
The intent is to keep the look-and-feel familiar to collectors: tamper-resistant assembly, readable top label, and controlled contact points so edges can still be inspected.
EdgeView retention
Four-point rim support with smooth, radiused contact pads to stabilize the coin without covering the edge.
Large label band
High-contrast printing for year/mint, set format, slab serial, and certificate identifier.
NFC + QR verification
Tap/scan opens a verification page. The slab stores a pointer + identifier, not customer data.
Verified‑only marketplace
Trading should be simple: the slab is the unit, the serial is the identifier, and verification is one tap. The marketplace is designed to accept only authenticated SaveSilver slabs (and approved submissions).
Tap / scan
Open the verification page from NFC or QR — fast, phone-friendly, no guessing.
Pre-filled listing
Serial pulls set type + year/mint so sellers don’t retype, and buyers see standard details.
Verified trade
Listings can be restricted to verified slabs so authenticity checks are built into the process.
Collector certificate
Optional NFT certificate adds provenance and edition tracking without putting personal info on-chain.
Slabbing service
Send in your constitutional silver. We authenticate, assemble $1.40 sets by year/mint, slab them, serialize them, and return them (or list them, if you choose).
“Mint ounces for the community”
Think of it as community minting: stackers bring constitutional silver, and it leaves as standardized, tradable units with verification built in.
Final service policies (fees, turn times, shipping, and return requirements) will be published before launch.
Pay fees in silver (example)
A simple model: charge a transparent fee per slab, optionally deducted as silver at spot-equivalent. Use the calculator to explore what that could look like.
This calculator is illustrative only. Actual pricing may be set in ounces directly or by published schedules.
Verify a slab
Tap NFC or scan QR to open verification instantly. This demo shows the intended experience: enter a serial to validate the format and open the certificate page.
Verification lookup (demo)
Try a sample serial like SS-202404-000001.
Privacy and security
Verification should be easy, but customer identity should remain private. SaveSilver verification uses:
- Serial + pointer in NFC/QR (not a private key)
- No personal info embedded in the slab
- Optional NFT certificate for provenance/edition tracking
Real implementation will include fraud controls and tamper-evidence checks.

Constitutional silver note
U.S. 90% dimes/quarters/halves are commonly traded by face value. In trade practice, $1.00 face is often estimated at about 0.715 troy oz of pure silver (ASW) to account for wear — therefore $1.40 is treated as roughly 1 troy oz ASW.
Actual silver content varies by coin type and condition; measured weights can be recorded per edition.
FAQ
Clear answers, big text, no jargon necessary.
Is $1.40 face always “exactly” one ounce?
Not always. “$1.40 ≈ 1 oz” is a widely used convention for circulated 90% silver to account for wear. Exact actual silver weight depends on coin type and condition. SaveSilver can record measured weights per slab.
Do I need crypto to buy, sell, or verify?
Verification can be done with a simple web link via NFC/QR. An NFT certificate is optional and intended for provenance/edition tracking. We expect the marketplace to support both mainstream and crypto-native workflows.
What’s stored in NFC/QR?
A verification pointer (URL + slab identifier). It should not contain private keys or personal information.
Can I submit my own coins to be slabbed?
That is part of the plan: authenticated, year/mint-matched sets assembled from your submission, slabbed, serialized, and returned (or listed). Final policies and pricing will be published before launch.
What prevents fake slabs?
A combination of tamper-resistant holder design, serialized labels, NFC/QR verification, and marketplace rules that accept only verified inventory. Fraud controls are a first-class requirement.
