Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 2:07 pm Are these real silver? There is no purity marked on them. Report this Post to the Staff

nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 3:20 pm I think you will find they are brass under that silver plate. I threw mine in my brass scrap. Report this Post to the Staff
mgillette Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 4:44 pm I'd polish them up nice and try to find a buyer... then again, my wife runs an antiques shop on Etsy and it does quite well. Actually, check replacements Ltd. and see if they have the same style (I'm sure they will) and you will find plenty of information there. Yes, they are electroplated.

Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 09:08 am I listed them on ebay. The shipping will make them a hard sell. I would give them away if I would break even on the shipping charges. Report this Post to the Staff
