In the U.S., "coin silver" is the term for the alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper that was used to mint dimes, quarters and halves up to 1964, and dollars up to 1935.

Sometimes silverware makers would melt coins and use the metal to make utensils. It had a known cost, a known purity, and held up well.

This is silver wear made of investment grade silver as opposed to sterling silver which is 92.5% pure (Hence the 925 marking). It may or may not have been made from silver sourced from coins.
