<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 327098, member: 111"]According to your description (not really a provenance), it appears that you've rounded the weights, and am assuming ounces avoirdupois rather than troy, it looks like a total of 360 ounces (your weights are unlikely to exact), which at current silver prices, full scrap value today for .900 coin would be right around $5000., for .925 around $5140. - so the dealer is offering you basically twice the intrinsic value. Your set is desirable, repousse-work in a Chinoiserie motif, and likely sterling, though it makes little difference in its value, please see this link: <a href="https://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000690.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000690.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000690.html</a> Was going to suggest that you submit this set to some reliable auction houses, but see that you've already listed it on eBay... </p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000690.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000690.html" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
