Just scored from my "junk" pile

[ethanfez]

I have a pile of plated and less than $5 stuff that I have been slowly selling over the weeks. Most of it came from auctions in boxes where I may only buy the box for one thing them in left with the crap. I was just about to list these two cups for $5 each when I took another look at the word I could never read on the bottom. Clear as day they both said sterling. Don't know how I didn't see it before. 13.1 Troy ounces of sterling in total. I paid $10 for the box of stuff. Make sure you all check your plated before junking!

That was a close one!! Great rescue!! I've probably seen hundreds of those or ones similar that are always plated. But it's those one or two pieces that makes us look and look again!!
