Most likely. That 924 is most likely a 925, referring to the fact the plate is sterling (92.5% pure), it is worth silver scrap which at the time of writing is about $1 per gram. Your platter might have additional collector value, although with the high price of silver, it is likely it is worth more in scrap than to a collector.
No. Jewelry stamped 925, .925 or "sterling" is genuine sterling, not silverplate.
nothing what so ever
I am trying to place a value on an FB Rogers #1824 silver on copper shell platter. It also has 3 shells on the bottom as feet. It measures 12 1/2" x 12 1/2". Your help would be much appreciated.
Not necessarily.Firstly, it doesn't say "sterling", it says "silver," if they meant "sterling", they presumably would have stamped it "sterling."Secondly, there's no absolute guarantee that what it says is necessarily true.
No. A platter would be a component of a hard disk drive.
That depends on what you mean. If a piece of silver jewelry is say marked with the word Norway as opposed to one marked Italy, I would opt for the Norway piece. It's probably going to be a lot more valuable, in most cases that is.
Silver made in Russia was marked with numbers such as 84. The base or 100% pure number was 96, which was called a Zolotnik. An item marked 84 would be 84/96 or .875 pure silver. Other numerical marks that can be found on Russian silver include 88 (.9166 pure) and 91 (.9479). Russian silver was usually profusely marked. It is normal to find numerous marks on each part of a Russian silver beer stein, including the body, the lid and the handle
There is no such thing as 10k silver. Silver purity isn't marked in carats. It's marked in "millesimal fineness." There are a thousand mils in a whole. The purest silver you'll find is "999 fine silver," which is 99.9 percent pure silver.
In the US, "real" silver would be marked 925 or higher, like 950 or 999. Any number lower than this is not considered "real" silver in the US.
<p>my tray bears the number 6490, I would also like to know if it is any good? Concord International Silver company 6490<p>
A platter spinner is another name for a disk jockey. A disk jockey would play vinyl recordings in the radio station. They were known as platters.
A cylinder. Each track on each platter can be thought of as being a ring, thus if you isolated the same track upon each platter you'd have a stack of imaginary rings which would therefore form an imaginary cylinder.
