A 999 mark claims that the silver-bearing material is 99.9% silver. Use the weight of that material—not packaging, stones, fittings, or a weighted base—when estimating melt value.
Fine silver appears in bars, rounds, coins, wire, and some jewelry. A plated or filled object cannot be valued as 999 silver by its total weight, even when the surface looks like fine silver.
Common marks include 999 or Fine. A stamp can be wrong or forged, so keep the result provisional until the metal and usable weight are supported.
