Well, the second piece of silver has arrived. Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, right?
That may be but it seems very unnecessary now.
Nah, already made up my mind to ditch them. To do an in-person appointment will take at least three months.
I'll leave that up to the experts to decide. Given what they've said, it looks real to me, but what do I know?
That's as may be, but everybody else was so sure they weren't real, and I'm trying to establish myself as an antiques dealer here. Who is going to...
Right now, they're on the "to-melt" pile. I won't keep them if they're fakes. And obviously I can't sell them on, so if they're silver, they're melt.
I checked LOADS of images before buying. I visited all kinds of sites to make sure. I won't be able to do anything with them for at least three...
Yes I know.
That may be so, but if they're fake I don't want to keep them and I certainly can't sell them. If they're fake, they die with me. I'll melt them,...
Now that I've had a closer look, I can see one or two discrepancies, but nothing with the '925'. While searching eBay, I did stumble across...
That's why they're going on the melt-pile. So that I'll know for sure when I take them there.
Well if you think they're fake, I'll toss them on the silver-scrap pile for melting, and take it as a learning experience. At least I didn't pay...
I can try and get better photos, but you guys seem to have made up your minds already. I don't see any flaws in them and the packaging is...
Here's a set on 1stDibs with the Ys not lined up: [IMG]
I don't see any differences. As far as I'm concerned, they're genuine.
You'd be surprised, Deb. I bought a Tiffany beaker from my local auction house a few months ago for $60.00. Solid silver, marked, stamped,...
Yes, I'm aware of that. I did a lot of comparing and checking before buying them. They're real.
It's the photographs. I really need to get a better camera. They're MUCH nicer in person.
I've been on a bit of an online buying spree over the last two weeks, and I ended up making an offer on - and winning - these! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Only melt silver if it can't be sold (ie - it's broken or in some other way unsellable). Everything else, I keep, or sell as is.
