<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2540954, member: 2844"]Although the eagle stamp is supposed to be for sterling silver, older Mexican pieces with eagle stamps aren't always sterling silver, they used other finenesses as well. Often higher than sterling, but not always. Most were sterling, but they used anything from .900-.950. Sterling is .925.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
