Silver Sunday

It's Silver Sunday time.  I have some coin silver spoons that belonged to my Highland County, Virginia grandparents.  I don't know anything specific about them other than in the early 1960's, my grandmother wanted someone in the family to keep them.  Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver whereas coin silver has  90% silver.  These are made in a very simple Federal style. They do have hallmarks on the reverse side, but I have not researched them.  I don't know why there are five and not six or eight.
