Finding Solid Sterling Silver is every investors goal. New investors confuse plating for solid scrap silver and get ripped off. Plated silver is a thin layer. Solid is silver completely through(at 92.5%, the other % being other metals). So it is wise to learn how to identify solid silver, as plated has less value, and has a nearly unobtainable amount of silver in it because the layer is so thin.
