Good information for the Stacking Community .

Dutch coin is .720 and the Belgium next to it is .835

That tray is gorgeous 🤩😍

I wish you were local to tell me about a piece I have. It’s medium size handled tray with a turquoise on the handle. I feel like it’s silver but no markings.

Hey...I'm just learning...what is the best tip u can give me ?

Cool.

How do I look up the brands to determine prices. I have a lot of plated. Thank you.

I found a old lookin piece with state of Massachusetts or rhode Island on it and its worn barely visible but im wondering if its solid silver its a big platter how can i verify? Acid test work ruling out plated it passed magnet test. It says odelte deldicque on sticker on it and carved D,, O,, on it

Good video

I really appreciate this video because I was just telling somebody this very same thing today but it's a little annoying when you can't focus your camera and I can't see what you're looking at.

Thank you so much!! Such a gray explanation ❤

Have you ever seen flatware with no hallmark but only stamped 900? Just the 900 on it nothing else

Very good information for us.Hunters and pictures.I found a handled cup. Its Russian and it says 8456 any remarks on that? Thanks !

Countess international silver co. is not marked for silver content. How do you know?

Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

I have a flatware set with NO MARKS anywhere. It looks just like the Marly pattern. Suggestions to find out if it's sterling? (Passed ice test; magnet test).

I have a Lenox silver vintage serving bowl not sure if it's worth anything

Hi. What does 'ITALY A800' orA800 mean? 80% silver or just plated? Thanks.

how about the symbol SSKK is that real silver

Great info. Thank you for sharing what you know with the world. New friend here from Texas 🖤🤗

And you say you're not an expert? Awesome info. Thanks for sharing

The small coin with three crowns is actually iron!

Thanks brother.

focus your camera please

Need name of the coin book

Question: How do you determine the Sterling Silver weight on an item like that bottle opener when the end is stainless steel?

That’s a big ol nope from me

Wow thankyou for that valuable info i highly apriciate

Lol your titles are hilarious

good pickups :) this was all from a storage unit?

what does 901 mean when its stamped on a piece?

Ive bought an item marked "stering" before. It is silver but probably low grade. I could tell it wasnt plated,and I liked the item and it was priced appropriately for its dodgy hallmark. I asked to examine it first because plated metal feels gritty to me. Genuine silver and gold has a creamy feel.

Can we say chaos? Lol I love those thrift stores 😍

Oh boy, you have it so easy, I live in Central Europe, so many hallmarks, so many countries (historic and recent), so many standards, I am still learning about silver and that way about history. Thanks God for internet, where I can find information. I do not have one piece stamped "sterling". I look for heads, animals, geometric shapes, numbers... Just some standardsI found: 800, 812, 830, 835, 875, 900, 925, 950, 999. And e.g. old Russian silver has number 84 meaning 875 silver, or Austrian 13 means 812 silver... Real maze... 😀

If they said that… THEY ARE WRONG. I’m 5 years late to this video, but THANK YOU.

Are there any sterling items that were just never marked at all?

Awesome video Thank You

Thanks ,good vids. Have you looked at the Iraqi dinar revaluation? Its a different subject but could be lucrative. Markz on youtube.

Please. Sterling, not sterlin'.

Great video, very informative. Maybe you can help me out just picked up a couple of flatware pieces that have the following markings: FAME S&J.K-S They are not magnetic - looks like silver. Cant find any information online. has anyone ever run across this brand/markings?? I don't have the acid tests at the moment.(on order)

Thanks For The Information.🙏

I'm a 4th generation Jeweler,and I was always taught by rub and smell! My son has a PMI gun,and I have a good nose.

I have a question about milk glass. I passed up a vintage milk glass container with lid because it had a small chip on it. Is milk glass worth reselling even if it has a chip? 👀

Thank you very much I myself am very fond of silver always liked better than gold,however I learned an important thing in ur tutorial about sterling not always marked with its hallmark as we were malinformed u have some beautiful pieces especially that German piece with amazing detail once again very informative thank you

Good job all correct info...Russia uses 84 for silver. Pre 64 u.s. dimes quarters halves and dollar coins are 90 percent silver

I got some serving spoons and they look old and was told they were silver but I don't know can you possibly help me

I have been lucky enough to get some British silver because the thrift store owner does not understand what British hallmarks look like, they see 4 stamps and think EPNS. Great video, excellent information. I just love that fancy dish, nobody makes that anymore.

So glad you would not scarp that nice German pierced tray. Some people have no respect for craftsmanship or for antiques. You are giving away all the good tips. I like the idea of the video and I appreciate you are willing to share some secrets. Of course you missed many other marks such as 850, 870, 900, 950, <S>, Plata, “Silver”, vermeil. I have found that if an item is not etched sterling on the bottom, then I look for real light 800 stamp especially on collector spoons on the scoop somewhere . There are a lot off items that are stamped 800 that are really light and hard to find.

Another great video. Good to see all of the adjustments you make to ensure a longer life on your fume hood because they are not cheap. You must have inherited that anti-seize. It looks ancient, or well-loved! As a Canadian the first thing I will do when I get my fume hood is to swap out all of those baffle screws with the Philips heads for screws with Robertson heads so that I don't ever have to re-drill a new hole in the baffle.

Ur scratching that beautiful german piece!!!😥😥😥
