The "$" may mean it was made from recycled silver US coins with extra silver added to bring it from 90% to standard 92.5% sterling purity. I have a piece with that same mark and this is what I always assumed was the case with that one. It was a common practice back in the day to make jewelry from recycled silver coins.

Great silver ring, RC07! I will begin the guessing game on its weight with 13 grams. That is a beauty, congrats. Sub 8-)
