[QUOTE="Doc J., post: 375972, member: 7765"]It could very well be EPNS. It would have to be one of the first examples as she passed away over 50 years ago. Why would anyone do a EPNS 50 years ago so as to make it look like a current Sterling piece which is just $10-$15 per oz.?:woot: I've seen some fake Morgan dollars that are EPNS, but they were made recently on a small scale. Morgans are 90% silver ($15) but a few Morgan dollars in higher values have only happened in the last few years. Those are usually marked as Carson City coins. I see no reason to fake sterling silver in any grade (except below). My Mom started using her sterling silver 15 years ago as normal everyday utensils. We started 5+ years ago. We serve lunch with sterling, and we send it to the dishwasher. Sterling silver shrimp plate is no problem and nice. I will not use my 935 Tiffany as a regular piece. The Tiffany brand is different.[/QUOTE]
