Is weighted sterling worth anything?

1 Answer
Is weighted sterling worth anything?
Whether weighted sterling is worth anything depends on a few things. Namely, the type of piece, its maker, age and condition will determine its value. In terms of the material itself, how much weighted silver is worth depends on how much sterling versus filler material it contains. Some pieces have very little real silver, while others are predominantly silver and have a higher scrap value. To get an estimate of the value of a piece of weighted silver, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer. Explore a range of weighted silver wares on 1stDibs.
