What is S80 silver?

I was curious myself ,being a buyer and a re seller...I got hold of one of the dealers in China. The answer they gave me was that if you are buying from China, it's silver PLATED...NOT 80% silver. The term comes from the 80% solution of a chemical they use to plate it...not from actual silver content. If you buy from Mexico it is 80% silver or what is called "dirty" silver... It has to say 80 or 80.0 on it...NOT S80......Sorry guys..It was a let down to me as well. BUT 925 is still sterling..if it's any insulation.
