A practical guide
Sterling or plate? Sorting a silver chest
Solid sterling is usually marked "Sterling" or "925". Silver plate is often marked with words like "EP", "EPNS" or a maker's name with "plate". Plate has very little metal value. Sterling is priced on its silver content, and some patterns sell for more than that.
Knives, candlesticks and some serving pieces are weighted, meaning only part of the piece is silver. We account for that properly, so you're paid for the silver that's really there and not shortchanged on solid pieces.
- Keep sets together, even partial ones
- Don't polish. Tarnish doesn't affect value
- Set aside anything with family meaning before the appointment
- Bring a photo ID
