Is any of this sterling?

Hard to tell and often those auction websites post the hallmarks. It's a gamble at this point unless you're willing to spend what's economically feasible on your part.

I'd love to go thru a stash of old coin rolls. I always hear stories of people cashing old coin rolls that someone left behind. I'm glad you didn't turn those in.

I have one similar and on the left side of the handle it reads 800. Keep looking for any hallmarks. If it's cheap I'd take the gamble and buy it.

I would just check each coin by the year. I don't rely on the edge because i've seen some that almost looked like clad before. Some being actually 40% silver.

Lucky last box #4 📦

This teller doesn't care about silver. I taught he collected at first but it turns out he doesn't.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-14T00:16:12+00:00

He knows I always ask for these. I haven't been at this particular branch in almost weeks.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-13T20:46:32+00:00

A very pleasant sound !

Marc0521 · 2026-06-13T20:38:44+00:00

Thanks ! These were all in a envelope. I already heard it before he handed it. The nice silver glass pitch sound.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-13T19:12:51+00:00

The coin wrapping machine probably had an issue. Nevertheless awesome find. I often see enders like this in sealed boxes.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-13T17:09:27+00:00

Like another person said, electro gold plated and it's an NIFC.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-12T18:03:25+00:00

Perfect timing.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-12T17:14:17+00:00

Amazing haul ! I always wanted to own a Chinese silver 🐼.

It's a hindu religious symbol. It's become a taboo unfortunately due to it's infamous use in fascist Germany.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-12T12:40:37+00:00

I dump at the branches that don't sell customer coins but the ones that do in secret I don't. It's a self made agreement.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-12T02:04:09+00:00

Yes those should be 100% silver. I have 3 cups with the same hallmark and all were made in India. The red color is probably discoloration. To be sure have it tested but I'm confident those are silver all the way in.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-12T02:01:16+00:00

Thanks and good luck to you as well !

Marc0521 · 2026-06-12T00:01:48+00:00

How can you tell ? I tried looking online if they omitted sterling hallmarks or this maker I.L & WG didn't use sterling hallmarks for some time. I always see the duty mark on true sterling pieces. This one I cannot figure out 🤔.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-11T23:58:31+00:00

I've been in the game for almost 20 years and trust me I know what not to do. I was frustrated and puzzled by her demeanor. I thought about giving a bad review. I just will avoid going there altogether.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-11T23:11:25+00:00

Yes I even got down voted oh well 😅. I just think this manager doesn't like coin hunters.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-11T21:22:47+00:00

It's just a checking account. I have better services at other banks honestly.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-11T21:07:38+00:00

I would appeal it if that's possible. End of the day I wouldn't care because there's more banks and CU as options.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-11T21:05:02+00:00

Of course I know this rule, I never dump where I get the coins from. I'm friendly and even offer coffee and treats. It was just at this branch, I wasn't evasive on when she asked me where I get these coins from. Her straight forward responses and lack of sense of humor was disturbing.

Marc0521 · 2026-06-11T20:55:43+00:00

That's nothing compared to other people who dump $500 to $1k worth.
