SOME ADDED INFORMATION

Early American "Coin" Silver Starting in The Early 1700s had a 90% Silver Content Being 900/1000 Pure Silver as Opposed to Sterling Silver which has a Slightly Higher 92.5% Silver Content at 925/1000 Pure. Shortly after the Civil War the American Silversmiths Widely Adopted the Sterling Silver Standard that We Use Today.
