    you are allowed to stamp argentium with a ".925" or "sterling" stamp,
    as sterling is requirede to be at least .925 parts fine silver, the
    other make-up of the metal can be anything, it does not have to be
    copper. we in the trade call it argentium, but to the normal person
    it is still sterling. argentium can be used as a selling point as far
    as the public is concerned, but it is still sterling.
