Is EPNS silver valuable?

1 Answer
Is EPNS silver valuable?
Whether EPNS silver is valuable varies. As a type of metal, electroplated nickel silver has only a slight value on its own because it typically contains only a small amount of genuine sterling silver. However, some EPNS pieces may be sought by collectors due to their age, style or maker rather than because the metal itself has value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you an estimate of how much a particular piece is worth. Shop a range of silver objects on 1stDibs.
