<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1109422, member: 18157&quot;]I bought some sterling flatware on eBay when silver was much lower and folks on other threads got me thinking it might be a good time to sell some. If I did, I would probably sell it as flatware and hope it brings a premium. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, if I didn&#039;t want the eBay hassles and just wanted to sell it as scrap...say, to a coin shop, here&#039;s my question...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Even though sterling silver has a slightly higher silver content than coin silver (.925 vs. .900), is sterling regarded as favorably by silver buyers as silver derived from .900 silver coins?</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I seem to recall someone on CT saying that sterling silver was frowned upon by silver buyers, but I don&#039;t recall the reasons why. I &quot;think&quot; that one reason may have been due to inconsistent purity, but I&#039;m not sure.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
