Bought some silver from another picker..

Most of it’s scrap but there was some serving spoons in there and I had not heard of the name. Came home and googled them. they are coin silver by Andrew C Benedict. Really nice condition. Era- 1827-1840! Hoping they’re worth some good money. No monogram 114 g.

Those are really nice! It looks like they are marked sterling so I don’t think they are coin silver. It’s always great to find the older stuff. Well done.

Definitely an interesting pattern for early coin silver. You hardly ever see anything about paddle handles. They have to be worth at least three or four times scrap value.

They do say sterling. Odd that they do look to be made after 1840

Just a quick reply. I think they are from the 1880’s. Check out the link. Andrew Comstock Benedict from New York. http://sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Silversmiths/SSB5.html

Well thank you. You’re right. Your sites better than mine. 925–1000 didnt even have all those other options I don’t think.
