depends on where you sell it. put it on ebay and you will get very close to spot price however after fees you will be down about 10% you can except to clear aleast 1550 1600. otherwise you have to take it to a metal buyer and will be lucky if you can find one to give you 75%.

Prolly not, duder. More than likely it is plated, not pure silver. For your sake, I hope it is, but I very much doubt it. Silver is weighed in Troy ounces and pounds (12 Troy ounces to a Troy pound). 6 lbs of pure silver is 8 lbs Troy. 8 pounds Troy is 96oz. So theoretically, the melt value would be even greater than 1800, assuming that the dish is .999 silver, which I highly doubt that it is. Good luck all the same. I would sit on it as long as you can. Someday the metal market is going to bust loose, but not today.

If it is sterling silver (.925), then your 6 pound tray is worth $2,218.

According to this site:

google "sterling hallmark" to see the mark you're looking for.
