Weigh on a scale that reads grams, and remember stones,
solder, knife blades and weighted bases are not silver: sterling
candlesticks and knife handles often contain cement or steel. Scrap buyers
deduct for all of it.
Melt value is the floor, not an appraisal. Coins with collector value trade above their metal content, and dealers buy below melt and sell above it to earn a margin. This site publishes the metal arithmetic only - never buy or sell quotes, and never price predictions.
