Are silverplated items worth anything?
Silver is a valuable metal that has a long-lasting intrinsic value. On the contrary, silver-plated items are only worth what the buyer has to offer. Unlike silver that has a melting value, silverplate doesn’t. Besides, each item has a small amount of silver.
How can you tell if Rogers silverware is real silver?
Buff the silverware to a shine with a soft, nonabrasive white cloth. If the silverware is real, it will leave a slight (or not so slight) black mark. Real silver chemically reacts with oxygen to form a patina (tarnish) while silver plating bonds to the underlying metal, so stainless steel will leave no such mark.
