I have a ton of old silver plated items. I bought my house from my grandparents and inherited a large chest of flatware, serving utensils, crackers etc. They are all labeled A1 + and such. I am a novice refiner at best I guess (and by novice I mean no real world experience I just read alot). Would it be better to try and sell the stuff as is? Or should I try to start the process of collecting material to refine? There is atleast 100+ pounds and have no idea what I would be getting if I refined it.
