Welcome to the New Members Silver Salon Forum!

The Silver Salon Forums are open to anyone with an interest in silver and a willingness to share. Know little or nothing about silver? Don't worry! Anyone with a genuine desire to explore the subject of silver and related metal crafts is welcome.

*** NO pre-sales/auction research or valuation questions. ***

The New Members Forum is where new members can begin posting. As a result of past misuse of the Silver Salon Forums by some new members, all new memberships will be restricted to the New Members Forum. All the public Silver Salon Forums will be viewable and searchable by anyone. Posting privileges may be extended to the other public forums once a new member has demonstrated that he or she:

  • Consistently respect and abide by the SSF Guidelines.
  • Actively and regularly participate.
  • Properly post photos.
please read

There are many people here who can help answer your questions and increase your knowledge and enjoyment of silver. To do so, however, we need a bit of effort on your part. Here are a few things that can help you find what you are looking for:
  • Try the Search (click here) page
    Many of the basic who, what and where questions have already been asked and answered.
  • Post a picture
    It's not hard and will go a long way to getting an accurate answer.
    Everything you need to know can be found in
    How to Post Photos (click here).
    If you can't take a picture, try a drawing.
  • Tell us the Why of your question
    We're not being snoopy; knowing will help us help you:
    What is your interest in silver?
    What is it that you hope to learn from this question?
    What is your purpose in asking?
  • If you have not read the Guidelines (click here), please do so now
    There are some questions we won't answer, like "How much is this worth?"

We hope that you will take a few moments to consider this and make your membership in our community a rich and rewarding one.

Thanks, Scott, for adding this resource to the SSF Library. I couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out.

Thanks to all concerned for their contributions to "Starting a Library on Silver". Perhaps though there could be a warning included, along the lines of "Beware, this may become habit forming"...

A very nice mention in the October 2006 The Silver Society of Australia Inc. Newsletter
quote:
Starting a Library on Silver
The excellent website run by Scott and June Martin (http://www.smpub.com) has published a list of useful books on Silver. This list is intended to suggest a range of good references for beginners’ libraries on silver. Each person will have her/his own interests and will develop a library to match, but these books have been chosen by members of the Silver Salon Forums to provide a wide-ranging foundation for the average person. The focus here on books dealing with the silver of Britain and the United States reflects both the majority audience of the SSF and the emphases of the English-language publications. For a look at this useful list, visit: http://www.smpub.com/library/ssl.html

Thanks again to all members who participated in this effort.
