    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.
