First.. are you sure it is Sterling? Onieda made a lot of "silver plated" items, which currently have zero value. The word "STERLING" needs to be stamped on the tray in order for it to be sterling and worth money.

No, sterling silver is a type of silver alloy that contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Therefore, sterling silver is also referred to as 925 silver due to its composition.
With current market prices of silver, a (pure silver) grain is worth around 5 cents, 500 grains would give you about $25, but since your silver round is sterling, you need to multiply that $25 by .925 (the fineness of sterling silver) which gives you about $23.12 in silver value. Most likely, your silver round contains no collectible value, but you may want to check auction sites to see if it commands a premium over the silver content. Most privately made silver rounds do not, but there are a few collectors out there.

silver because sterling silver is 92.5% silver and the purer it is, the more it is worth.
First of all, theres no such thing as "silver plated sterling". Sterling is 92.5% silver, anything plated is just plated. If the item is solid sterling silver, its metal value depends on the current price of silver - but it may be worth more as a collectible. If it's plated base metal it has very little value.
