Pewter is a metallic alloy, traditionally between 80 5 and ninety 9 p.c. tin, with something alongside with copper and antimony, appearing as hardeners, with the addition of lead for the decrease grades of pewter, that have a bluish tint. seems extra or much less like the colour silver merely.

There are ways, of course, but the simplest is just to take it to a pawn shop.

Take them both to a pawn shop and see which one pays the most.
