About 86 cents. At the time of writing, one gram of pure silver is worth $0.93 and since sterling silver is 92.5% pure, you take 93 cents time .925 which gives you about 86 cents. The spot price of silver changes daily so what is current right now might not be current a day from now. [December 23, 2010]
Is titanium better than sterling silver?
That depends on certain criteria. Sterling Silver is more valuable, is a precious metal and titanium is not. Sterling Silver is also shiner than platinum and is actually the whitest metal there is. Sterling Silver is heavier than titanium but is weaker as it rates 4 on mohs scale. titanium rates about 6 on mohs scale for strengh and will last longer than silver but weighs half as much as steel so its the lightest in weight for a wedding ring. Sterling Silver tarnishes when exposed to body acids and oxygen but if worn daily it will not tarnish. Sterling Silver is easily attacked by chemicals such as chlorine in pools which will make it turn partially black which is Silver Sulfate but can be re-polished. Titanium makes more sense if you abuse your rings more violently in the elements so choosing is up to whether you like the color durability or weight of the rings.

What is the value of a US sterling silver quarter?
US quarters were never made of sterling silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper; it's most commonly used in silverware, jewelry, and other decorative items but is too soft for use in coins. Up till 1964 quarters were struck in "coin silver" which is 10% copper. That extra 2.5% was enough to make the alloy hard enough to stand up to daily wear. At a minimum a common-date silver quarter is worth about 1/7 the price of an ounce of silver if melted. Older ones can be worth considerably more to a collector but you need to know the date, mint mark, and condition to determine a value.
Sterling stamped on ring?
Hi, I am not an expert on the matter but can offer some information. The value of the silver content on any given day is based upon the market price of silver; can fluctuate daily. The percentage of silver in sterling silver is .925. Conveniently, the number 925 is frequently used to hallmark sterling silver. FYI, pure silver is generally described as .999. For something like a ring, you would have find out the weight of the ring, most likely in grams, multiply it by the market price for a gram silver and multiply it again by .925 to determine the value of the actual silver content. Market prices for silver are customarily quoted troy ounces; 1 troy ounce =31.1 grams. Of course, the value of a ring is determined by more than the value of the raw materials that make up it's construction. Comparing prices for similar items in the market place to get a sense of the going rates is a good idea.
