Silver plated antiques and jewelry have little value to collectors, and no scrap value at all. Silver assayers won't take it because the cost of recovering the tiny amount of silver (about .20 mm surface thickness) is more than the value of the metal itself.

Standard Exchange policy: "Please note we cannot accept silver plated, gold plated or gold filled items. These items may be beautiful, but they unfortunately do not have any precious metal content to speak of. Even their value as antiques, collectibles, or jewelry is minimal right now due to the economy."

What is the going price for sterling silverware?

If you're asking about antique resale value, the answer depends on the silversmith or manufacturer, the age, condition, pattern, and rarity. It is also important to determine whether the silverware is solid sterling or silverplate; many people confuse the two. Silverplate has very little resale value, a few hundred dollars, at most. If you're asking about selling the silverware to a refinery, the price will be a factor of the weight of the silverware times whatever percentage of the market rate the refinery is willing to pay. If you're thinking of selling your silver for scrap, it would be a good idea to check the antique resale value first, as that might be higher. Another word of caution about silverplate. Refiners won't take it (and they can tell the difference) because the cost of recovering the tiny amount of silver (about .20 mm surface thickness) is more than the value of the metal itself.


What is the value of WM rogers and sons silverware with the number 12 marked on it?

I have been told that the 12 denotes the DWT or pennyweight of the item. It is supposed to be silver and not silverplate. I am not sure what pattern you have but check it to see if it is silver and not silverplate. I think the value can be determined by finding the actual pattern name, or if you want to scrap it, see what silver is bringing per ounce right now.
