Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 352835, member: 136"]I honestly don't know, but I found this: from: Warman's Jewelry: Identification & Price Guide By Christie Romero  <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=PECy6EAQEnoC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=%22silver%22+%22marked+standard%22&source=bl&ots=QK-6xNVlTO&sig=-fSAtXvOOdg-g4HESfVPC1pQjn4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjP1IbG-K_aAhUBTt8KHbndAgoQ6AEIVTAG#v=onepage&q=%22silver%22%20%22marked%20standard%22&f=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=PECy6EAQEnoC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=%22silver%22+%22marked+standard%22&source=bl&ots=QK-6xNVlTO&sig=-fSAtXvOOdg-g4HESfVPC1pQjn4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjP1IbG-K_aAhUBTt8KHbndAgoQ6AEIVTAG#v=onepage&q=%22silver%22%20%22marked%20standard%22&f=true" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=PECy6EAQEnoC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq="silver"+"marked+standard"&source=bl&ots=QK-6xNVlTO&sig=-fSAtXvOOdg-g4HESfVPC1pQjn4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjP1IbG-K_aAhUBTt8KHbndAgoQ6AEIVTAG#v=onepage&q="silver" "marked standard"&f=true</a> If you scroll down (on page 77) to the paragraph that starts “Like gold...” the book says: The American standard for silver was 900 parts per thousand until 1906. Pieces marked “standard” or “coin” are 900 silver of American origin.[/QUOTE]
