I am not familiar with the term Nevada silver. One of the biggest silver strikes was in Nevada. That was the reason they opened the Carson City mint there. It was in operation from 1870-1893. I believe they are still mining silver there today. Sterling silver is .925 and that came from the British. There are however other compositions out there. Most silver that is top quality, will have it on it some place. If not I would leave it alone.

sterling is the highest quality silver, i suppose nevada silver comes from nevada, though i would not know the quality or silver content. however they do have to inform you of its content. coin silver is not high level silver as it has much added to it to make it harder.

Sterling is the British standard for silver. It's real :-)

Does Navada silver have an assay stamp on it , does it have .800 or .925 stamped on it ? if its .800 then it doesnt have enough silver content to be called stirling , if its stamped .925 then it is stirling , if it has neither then it can only be called white metal ( in the uk ) hope this helps xx
