SOLD
These are all coin silver spoons - created by melting down coins. All are 90% or very close to 90% silver. Total weight of the group is 139.3 grams.
Two are stamped with "pure coin" on the back - the rest don't specifically state silver or coin, but I promise they are. One has an engraved "1848" on the back.
Quick description of each:
Biggest one - 31.9 grams
Emmons & Pearsail Premium - 2nd biggest - 20.3 grams
engraved "L Smith" I believe - 13.7 grams
W.P & H Stanton makers mark with engraved 1848 on back - 15.2 grams
T Steele maker's mark - 14.0 grams
B.H. Cook Pure Coin - CB initials - 12.7 grams
L Huntoon Jr Pure Coin - 15.1 grams
M.B. Burgin maker 16.4 grams
Don't quote me 100% on the makers - I didn't use my glass, and my eyes aren't the best. Age? I'd estimate 1830s and 1840s or so seem to be a sweet time for these coin silver spoons.
If 139.3 is the gross weight - that leaves 125 grams of pure silver. Just over 4 ounces of silver. With silver at $16.50, that's about $66. $65 delivered which includes shipping and insurance.

Dropped to $80!
Final price of $65. If no takers by tomorrow night, they will go to the refiner to be melted.
You'd be lucky to get 85-90% of melt from the refiners with such a small lot. Good luck
