My friend scored some sterling!

Goodness. Right in my backyard.

Holy crap! I will say, since I've been seeing your posts I've been checking more closely at stuff I would otherwise pass at a glance when I'm at thrift stores... nothing yet.

Wow! Haven't been thrifting for silver for a year now. (Haven't been out of the house at all). I really miss the feeling of getting a big score. Hopefully it'll be all over soon Nice find!

Nice catch!

I made the mistake of going to a farm auction last weekend. I ended up with several silver-plated things, but I think I squeezed out a victory with some silver spoons from Italy and a small dish.

What is the going rate for sterling and other types of silver dinnerware? This might become a new hobby.

Great find... I have not been lucky yet....I will check again next week.... I should check weekly, been more like every six weeks the past year. Probably missing some stuff. Cheers, RickO

Usually one can expect 70-80% of it’s melt value.
