Do they have any kind of identifying mark that shows them to be sterling? Just curious. Report this Post to the Staff

It's kind of funny to think about sometimes too. This piece was made by the Franklin Mint in 1967. It is a sterling silver art round that weighs about 27 grams total, so the round contains about 0.80 troy ounces of pure silver. When it was made in 1967 that was about $1.25 worth of silver! They probably figured it wasn't worth marking! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

They probably figured it wasn't worth marking! That could well be. Plus, those who are in constant contact with silver items usually recognize the various kinds for what they are where the rest of us might not. That was some price! Ah, the good old days.
