How do you tell if my silverware is real silver?
You can check for markings like "sterling" or a number indicating purity, usually located on the back of the utensils. Real silverware will also feel heavier than normal utensils due to its silver content. Another way is to use a magnet – silver is not magnetic, so if the magnet doesn't stick, it may be real silver.

How can you tell silver plate from sterling silver?
When looking at silver jewelry, the hallmarks is key, .925 silver is the standard silver quality (sterling silver).99% of silver jewelry will have a hallmark, I have a lot of it so I recognize it instantly. More often that not, silver plated jewelry will have a hallmark that says .925 pltd or plated this is the easiest way to tell. Another way to tell is if you look at the jewelry itself you can sometimes see copper or another coloured metal around edges and places where the jewelry is exposed to oil from skin or the plating is eroding. These are the best ways to tell.Hope this helps!All of the above are true but to know if the item is sterling or silver plated if it is unmarked, you will need to test it. There are electronic and acid testers on the market specifically for this purpose. If it is jewelry then you can ask a jeweler to test it for you. When using acid testers, it is advisable to test in an inconspicuous place on the silver, otherwise, the acid will ruin the finish of the jewelry if it turns out to only be silver plated. We at YearsAfter (see the related link) test our unmarked sterling silver jewelry and it takes about 6 seconds. It's very easy but if you are using acid, please be careful and follow the instructions.
How do you tell silver?
The answer truly depends on the item you're looking at. For jewelry, it will almost always have a stamp reading "925", "sterling" or "ster" or similar. Unfortunately, especially on bracelets, necklaces and charms these markings are often very small and often places on the ring where they clasp, circling the ring. Another downside is that these pieces often fall off, losing the mark. Other marks may include "coin', or simply hallmarks in the form of a letter, number, or symbol...but luckily if your piece has these its likely at least 90% (sterling is 92.5%) silver. For coins, a general rule is that us coins pre-1965 in denominations above $.10 are 90% silver. For a few years 1965 on, some larger denomination coins are still 40% silver - look at the edges, if its all silver then its silver, if you see a silver front/back with copper sandwiched, its not silver...at all. If you're totally in doubt, there are acid and other tests, but unfortunately require damaging (scratching or cutting) the item to test, since it may be silver plate, so the innards have to be checked and not just the surface. Most "silverware" 1870 onward is only plate silver, unless marked otherwise. IS, triple, quadruple, 100, 90, etc. Are all indicative of plate silver markings. Unfortunately, aside from their intended use, plate items simply aren't valuable since the amount of silver in them is about 90g (1/5-1/3ozt appx.) Per dozen pieces.
What is the letter at the top left corner of a 1928 silver certificate?
It's a plate indicator. US bills are printed in grids on large sheets of paper that are cut apart into individual bills. Plate indicators tell where a particular bill was located in the grid.
