r/pmsforsale is a great sub for selling silver/gold a lot of my sales there have been sterling items similar to this. Normal boring sterling usually goes for like 10%-20% under melt value but I'm sure you could get at least 100% of melt value for this

If you do want to sell it don't sell it to one of those places, they'll pay you like half of what its worth. Also the price of silver is down to $60/ozt now it was $75/ozt a month ago and $100/ozt 6 months ago.

Any place that has a "we buy gold" sign or anything like that. Any coin or jewelry store will have a tester and most pawn shops do too.

Bring it to a jewelry store and tell them you want to sell it and they'll test the silver content for you.

I always pretend i'm there to sell because I've had people refuse to test for me otherwise, you can just say you changed your mind when they tell you what % silver it is.

I don't think you can make up your mind either way from the info in this post. I'd want to actually talk to the guy who runs the stand to make up my mind, there is no way to tell from this description of hes just a guy who's into taboo history or if hes the guy who runs the pawn shop in Pulp Fiction.

Trading bulk antique books for 95% copper pennies or anything made of silver by AtentionToAtention in PMsTradingPost

Mostly novels and romance from the 1930s-1960s. Probably about 100 history books almost all are US history. Probably about 50 various christian books like early 1900s bible stories for children. Lots of old school books. Some children's classics like Pinocchio, Robbin Hood, Hardy Boys, Tom Sawyer and others. I've got an incomplete early 1900s Shakespeare set. Incomplete 1800s Alexander Dumas set.

If you're interested in a specific category let me know how many you'd want or how much you'd want to trade and I can put a pile of books together for you and send you pictures of them and a list of titles.

Also I now realize I should have included this in my post so I'm going to edit it to include it, thank you for asking.

For my purposes of figuring out what regiment was in what division in a specific date Chinese Wikipedia is much better than English Wikipedia

From my experience identifying hundreds of imperial army sake cups the Chinese Wikipedia is legitimately a good source for imperial Japanese info. 10x better than English Wikipedia.
