[QUOTE="CaptHenway, post: 8175235, member: 13813"]Are you sure that your machine can tell the difference between 0.900 fine silver and 0.925 fine?

Several sheets of sterling that looked like the larger pieces here. A few other sizes and a few cut pieces. I suspect that this is some independent jeweler's sterling silver raw materials, plus other odds and ends like the aluminum screws and those "fingers," whatever they are. Some people never throw away anything. It might be useful someday. All I know for sure is that the various plates are too small to be useful for a commercial mint.
