Coin Silver is 90% pure silver usually manufactured from real coins that were in circulation. When England colonized North America, there was little silver available to early American silversmiths and thus they melted down the silver coins that were in circulation. The 90% standard lasted until about 1865 when The United States finally adopted the .925 fine sterling standard that England had been using since the year 1200.
This sugar spoon is 5 3/4 inches long and 1 5/16 inches at the widest point. Normal wear from use shows but there are no dings, dents or deep scratches.
Views show the full length of the piece and the "coin silver metal" imprint.
While the maker is unknown to us, we are certain of the mid 19th century dating and similarity to the J.E. Stretcher and Edward & David spoon designs of the same period.
