I'm still trying to figure out what silverware is silver and which is silver plated. Can anyone help me?

Silver or Sterling silver will be marked on the back as sterling, or coin. They may also be marked with a number such as 925 which is the purity of the silver content. Coin items are items made from old silver coins. Plate items will have a makers mark but will not say sterling
Best bet if you're buying or selling silver items is to consult an expert....Show more
