The oldest kind of American silver, coin silver is at minimum 90% silver. American colonist silver makers melted down European coins to re-cast into serving pieces and flatware, because they did not want to use British imported silver. This set of five spoons is a lovely addition to your collection. In good antique condition, with the expected light surface wear after more than two centuries, two have a slight bend.
