Not a single one!!! So apparently this person knows how to distinguish silverplate from coin silver, but doesn't know how to identify coin silver...
Thank you for your thoughtful questions and comments Bakersgma (as always). The seller shipped everything in the photos ( if I had been local,...
Here's the photos. PS the last 2 photos show the terrible testing method used on these relics. Sad to say the least...worse is whomever was doing...
Awesome guesses for those that had a chance to answer. If anyone else is checking out the post, and I start revealing the details, you are happy...
