Your question is confusing. Typically, it is not possible to replant such large trees; the root systems are too developed, and trying to would kill the tree.
It is possible, I suppose, you are asking from a lumberperspective. The problem here is one of board feet and quality. What makes that problem more of an issue is that silver maple is not a common commercial wood. It is used often in the manufacture of Musical Instruments because of it's very tight grain and the common burl and tiger stripe patterns to the grain. It lathes well so is common for gun stocks and bowls and other crafts. The biggest problem is that old growth maple often has problems asthetically. It can be easily stained by insects and soil contamination. The heart of the wood typically gets very gray and can be knotty, leaving little for actual lumber.
If you have known the tree since it was a sapling, and can say with certainty that it has not been nailed, contact a lumber yard that cuts veneer and ask if they can send a grader out to check the tree. If you can sell it for veneer, you may get a very good price.
