<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 4295220, member: 36&quot;]Coin silver is whatever went into the coins used to make the silver piece. In American silver it&#039;s been standardized to .900 in the 20th century, but for older pieces and things made elsewhere it&#039;s anyone&#039;s guess.&nbsp; The Italians and others used a lot of .800 for tablewares and went higher for jewelry.&nbsp; (except for the stuff for the dumb tourists who didn&#039;t know better, who got .800 silver souvenir jewelry.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
