The value of a silver plated Meridan salt and pepper dog and bear depends on its condition. This set in excellent condition is valued between 11.00 and 16.00 as of 2014.
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 want to know the value of a #214 quadruple plate tankard made by meriden b company.
its silver plated...unless it says sterling on it. this company was known for making silver plated sets.
Silver plated nickel will have no resale value.
If it appears to be silver silver, it was plated outside the US mint. The U.S. never struck cents in silver. My high school physics class made silver-plated pennies and copper-plated dimes. The alteration makes it worth face value.

Meriden B Company was a manufacturer that made silverware out of "black silver" the kind of silver that was economical doing the time, it still had the flare of expensive silver settings and today the silver alone is of high value, since refined silver was getting high in value and the price of refined silver was costly at the time, Meriden B Company started offering silver that was not "refined" before it was marked, it was before "nickle silver" so the silver is still 100 percent! The product itself will appear black before you polish it, which should be left in that state if you want to sell it. All Meriden B Company is over 100 years old and have a historical value, family's that can trace back 100 year will know about the Meriden B Company product. Meriden B Company went out of business after becoming well known for these kinds of products.
Plated coins are considered to be altered items with no extra numismatic value.
Farthings were made from bronze. If you have a silver Farthing, somebody has plated it and it is subsequently of no value as a collectible.
It can be Gold or Silver plated yes but will not increase the value
One Cent is the value. The US has never made a silver penny. It may look like silver or have been silver plated but it has no collectible value.
You don't. It costs more to recover the silver from a plated item than the value of the silver.
