Welcome to the forum. Not all coin silver was marked coin. I would take both pieces to be coin silver without hesitation.

:::: Barton Stillman of Rhode Island who died 1837 looks like a good possibility. ::::::

::::: The Canfield & Bro marked "COIN" is definitely solid silver (90% silver). But I just want to make absolutely sure that the other spoon is solid silver (90% silver). I've had some difficulty in the past determining the difference between CANFIELD & BRO coin silver vs. CANFIELD & BRO silver plated spoons. I remember telling myself to be careful about CANFIELD & BRO. ::::::::
