re: "Is the plate REALLY Sterling Silver?"

Seems to be. I still don't know what it weighs. It's pretty light, but 5â…ž inches in diameter. I don't have a scale handy for weighing it, so I'll just guess four ounces. Three photos follow.

Another interesting win was this one for $27 (plus 15%). It's a bit of gamble. Is the plate REALLY Sterling Silver? I don't have anything to go on except the auction house's statement that it is. Sterling silver, by definition, is 92.5 percent silver, so it's worth a lot more than $27 if they described it correctly.

But it might be that the auction house is dishonest or incompetent - in which case I got ripped off.

Sterling silver merchandise is normally labeled as such. My wife dropped off the plate at the other house today so I'll have to examine it for the marking on another day.
