Technically, this figure is 1/1000 of a percentage point below the necessary .925 to be considered Sterling Silver. This means that 92.4% of an object is silver (Ag), with 7.6% being another metal, usually copper (Cu).

Coin silver, defined by the National Stamping Act of 1906, was by definition at least 90% silver and was used in the form of melted coins by Native American silversmiths to make the treasured squash blossoms and bracelets of the classic period of 1900 - 1950.
