<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 382352, member: 56&quot;]I think 83% is usually called coin silver, but that&#039;s only part of the consideration in valuing items.&nbsp; There&#039;s also who made it and when, and its aesthetic appeal and condition.&nbsp; It&#039;s my understanding that a lot of American 19th C (and earlier) silverwares were a coin silver grade.&nbsp; I doubt that a knowledgeable dealer would accept an offer of 60% of melt.&nbsp; I would certainly expect a dealer of precious metals to know the current values and I can&#039;t imagine one selling items for less than they could get themselves as scrap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
