The sliver color rubbed off on the frog pin I bought in a tourist shop in SF's China Town when I polished it. The pin is still cute, but it's goldish, not silver. The seller lied. He said it was sterling. I saw it was stamped when I bought it.... but couldn't make it out at the store so I took the seller's word for it...it took a microscope to read it when I got home. It was stamped "825".
I am going to guess that "825" means silver plate. Probably over copper.
