We're listing these cups as \"good\" due to one side of each cup having silver-plating wear. When the cups are facing to the right, you can see the silver-plating wear we're referring to. Likely due to how they were stored, those sides of the cup formed wear that will not polish away. Please see photos #3, #6, and #10. When the cups are facing the opposite direction, the silver-plating is in very good condition. It's just on the one side of each cup (again, likely due to how they were stored for decades). The interior of the cups also show some signs of age\/wear to the silver-plating, see photo #7.
