What is the value of pewter in general and the value of old pewter mugs?
The value of pewter in general is a great deal less than the value of gold because a pewter object may contain nearly about 95% tin. The other 5% may be a combination of materials including bismuth or lead. As to the value of old pewter mugs, the value is in that of the maker of the piece and the date of the piece. For example, a mug made and signed by Paul Revere would be more valuable than an unsigned piece of the same period. The general value of any antique item is usually the amount a buyer is willing to pay to acquire a piece.

There are no pewter objects known from this period (in fact, not many objcts at all!). So, it is impossible to give a value to pieces which cannot exist! How can you say that they were made in 1076? In fact, you must be talking about repros...If there are marks, describe them. oldpewterman
Can your body be physically dependent to pewter?
Pewter is a metallic alloy made primarily of tin, which is relatively inert and not known to cause physical dependence in the body. Ingesting pewter in small amounts, such as from eating food stored in pewter containers or using pewter utensils, is generally considered safe. However, regular ingestion of large amounts of pewter, which can leach lead and other trace metals, can lead to metal toxicity and associated health issues.

The best pricing I have found for Franklin Mint soldiers is about 10.00. This is what they sell for on E Bay and at several auction houses I attend. A retail price would probably be quite a bit more but I have not located any at a retail store. Betty Stoneman Friendswood, Texas

Is it safe to drink from pewter?
Unfortunately, Pewter is a common name describing several very similar metal alloys. It is important to know if it is lead-pewter (the kind the Romans used to use for drinking--causing madness; this is till used for small statues, trinkets, etc.) or silver-pewter or tin-pewter (the kind now often used in drinkware and jewellery). I would suspect it is silver-pewter and will be safe, but it is not necessarily wise to do so without checking.
