Yes silver plated cables are actually recommended more over the gold plated ones. A lot of people say that the gold plated ones are a waste of money since you can get the same result or better from the silver plated.
Tibetan silver is plated rather than made of sterling silver. Cast iron or copper is used to make Tibetan silver. Then it is plated with sterling silver or any other material that looks like sterling silver.
First of all, theres no such thing as "silver plated sterling". Sterling is 92.5% silver, anything plated is just plated. If the item is solid sterling silver, its metal value depends on the current price of silver - but it may be worth more as a collectible. If it's plated base metal it has very little value.
I was not able to find any references to any sterling (pure) silver items made by the Poole Silver Company. It appears that they only made silver-plated flatware (forks, knives, spoons, etc.) and holloware (bowls, goblets, teapots, etc.)
Silver plated? Not worth your time to extract. Plating puts such a small coating of silver on the object that the costs to extract it are more than any gains from the silver you are extracting.

yes, you can find gold plated watches that start at 200 dollars.
There's never been any silver American cents. You may have one that looks silver or been plated. But it's still 1 cent
There are no reports of 1965 dimes being struck on old silver blanks used in 1964 and earlier. All dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper and nickel. Any dime made in 1965 that appears to be silver is almost certainly plated, maybe for use in jewelry or as a novelty item. In any case a genuine silver dime is heavier (6.25 gm) than a copper-nickel dime (5.67 gm) so a good scale will tell you if a coin was plated.
These are not made by any US mint, and have no numismatic value. If the coins are silver and not silver plated, the value would be for the silver in the coins.
It is possible to melt any plated gold that you have. It is best to choose a good way to do it to ensure that everything remains safe.
Modified coins have no collector value. Any value the pendant may have would be as a piece of jewellery. The coin itself might get up to £2 GBP if it was in mint condition and had not been silver plated.
Plated is the most likely if it is silver. the US has never made a circulating one cent coin out of silver in any year.
