No, it's not more valuable from a scrap standpoint. Silver is marked according to how much actual silver it contains, up to 1000, which would be pure silver. 900 silver contains 900 units of elemental silver, and 100 units something else, usually copper or nickel. 925 silver contains 925 units of elemental silver and 75 units something else. 925 silver has more silver than 900 silver, thus, for scrap purposes, it is worth more.

However, for decorative or antique value, 900 silver can be more valuable than 925 silver. 900 silver, if it is antique or a highly-sought decorative item, could fetch a much higher price than an ordinary or ugly 925 silver item. Take your items to a jewelry store that doesn't buy scrap gold or silver and ask them if your item has any resale value.

Is silver more expensive that silver enriched?

Silver is worth the price of what it is trading for daily on the exchange, silver is normally traded in bullion with a fineness of .9999+ %. Enriched silver would be therefore less if mixed with a base metal and worth more if mixed with gold. I am not sure if this is what you meant by the question though.
