<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 3733969, member: 182&quot;]Mr Nate, this is such a good post!&nbsp; A man I saw frequently at auctions (pre pandemic) only bought sterling silver.&nbsp; Yet, he checked every piece with a loupe.&nbsp; One day I said to him, &quot;Can&#039;t you tell sterling from plated, <i>yet</i>?&quot;&nbsp; Well, it turns out he couldn&#039;t, after checking literally hundreds of pieces over the years.&nbsp; If I knew how to get in touch with him, I would certainly refer him to this post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Detecting the tone of sterling is always helpful at sales when there are items with foreign hallmarks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
