What is the value of pewter in general and the value of old pewter mugs?
The value of pewter in general is a great deal less than the value of gold because a pewter object may contain nearly about 95% tin. The other 5% may be a combination of materials including bismuth or lead. As to the value of old pewter mugs, the value is in that of the maker of the piece and the date of the piece. For example, a mug made and signed by Paul Revere would be more valuable than an unsigned piece of the same period. The general value of any antique item is usually the amount a buyer is willing to pay to acquire a piece.

Is it safe to drink from pewter?
Unfortunately, Pewter is a common name describing several very similar metal alloys. It is important to know if it is lead-pewter (the kind the Romans used to use for drinking--causing madness; this is till used for small statues, trinkets, etc.) or silver-pewter or tin-pewter (the kind now often used in drinkware and jewellery). I would suspect it is silver-pewter and will be safe, but it is not necessarily wise to do so without checking.

White metal: "Any of various whitish alloys, such as pewter, that contain high percentages of tin or lead." Yes, but very slowly. Tin and lead and pewter do not corrode easily. Also, the rate would decrease over time, as a layer of oxide would coat the surface preventing further corrosion.
