I do a lot of these little bits and pieces. The silver terminal connector from an electric cord will be nickle plated brass.

I have 1 gallon plastic jars labeled with 5 different categories to cover this sort of stuff, and so far I've not had the need to make a label with "silver" on it... I am still holding out hope though.
Just a heads up, military uses some High Quality stuff,
MIL-W-22759/11 Standard Wall
The Standard Wall Wire has a silver plated copper conductor. The MIL-Spec wire has an insulation of TFE non-stick coating and has a .010 nominal wall thickness with a voltage rating of 600 Volts and a temperature rating of 200 ºC.

As Boardsort mentioned having enough volume limits people who do buy . Now the wires usually connect to some nice Plated connectors if you do run across some.
