how to remove milk spots from silver bullion! (3 methods)

[byront37]

First off you need to decide if you are keeping coins for numismatic or bullion. If your keeping them for bullion dont even bother with cleaning your coins, because its is a waist of time. The person or company that is buying your coins for bullion is most likely going to melt them so a bit of dirt or milk spots make no matter. If you are keeping them for numismatic value and you go to sell them i have bad news for you you by cleaning them or touching them up have lost

cont in next post

[byront37]

@byront37 50 to 60% of their value. Cleaned coins are very to spot by knowledgeable coin buyers.

[Keemm89]

WOW ERASER IS REALLY NOT EXPECTEDD THANK YOU!!!

[Irishsilverstack]

thanks for the video man. 

[BullionData]

Thanks for the method, shall give it a go.

[jarjar179]

[JustABitchyCancer]

i heard (sorry if you say this later in your video but i haven't watched it all) that some people rather you just leave the silver alone. So I wouldn't know whether to clean mine or not if they tarnish (which they will i wasn't smart enough to handle them with gloves).

[drutter]

@JustABitchyCancer

I think it's best, if you're not sure what to do with your silver, to either leave it alone or do more research until you feel confident. In some cases you can reduce the premium value (the value it has on top of simply the metal it contains) of silver items by improperly treating the surface. So if you're not sure, hold off for now.

[geekboymike]

Thank you for this information. I have place mint looking maples in Air Tite ring type holders. Now Milk spots have appeared. I will try these methods. Will one cleaning do it? I bet not.

Thanks for the information, Mike.

[osvaldosdb]

Cool vid this will help my coins Thanks!

[russocollection]

Nice video, nice message.

[silverandgoldfan]

awesome vid, i never knew the eraser method. i will have to try it out. since its been a year, have you noticed any changes to the coins you cleaned? either way anything is better then the milk stains. paying $2-3 less for a coin that is easily cleaned is well worth it when your on a tight budget. oh i also like the method you showed for removing tarnish. its like magic. the stuff comes off within seconds with boiling water. tyvm for sharing.

[drutter]

@silverandgoldfan

Thanks! No, I haven't noticed any problems over time with coins treated this way. I've been using the eraser method and jewelry cloth method with good results. Tiny abrasions on the silver surface are indeed much better than ugly and permanent milk spots.

[ThePjcull]

good vid 

[redmatrix]

Wow, AuStacker and TestTubeWorld channels are no more.

[rolficus]

i bought maples and they look like a cow has orgasmd all over them i will try these tips thankyou sir thumbs up

[Yoyoloki888]

Thanks!!!!!! The eraser thing really works

[Castorios]

I got a stack of those 2010 hockey maples completely stained, at first there seemed to be only milk spots, but with time (and some handling) the spots covered the whole surface and fingerprints are clearly visible... it's too bad since they have a nice premium.

I'll try the eraser as soon as I can ! thanks for the info !

[superhawkn]

vacuum packing silver?

[lifendsoon]

I have milk spots on my canadain maples, but they weren't there when I bought them as I remember the coins being shiny without any blemishes. I only handled them when I bought them, then I just stored them away. Later down the line I noticed the coins with milk spots all over them...? so are you sure that milk spots can't just appear over time? Because when I first bought the coins they weren't there.

[drutter]

@lifendsoon

I've recently experienced what I believe is something similar. I think you're right and perhaps there's a certain contaminant that can cause milk spots or at least what appear to be milk spots. I have a Grizzly that was mint when put away and now has milk spots around the edges. At least there's a treatment, but still, too bad silver reacts more than gold, grrrrrr.

[mikedoles]

@lifendsoon perhaps its the difference in lighting



[candon1972]

Canabis coins Vs, canada ..... thehe hippie coin will winn...:)

[Grichal1981]

I've just tried the jewellery wipe method on a sliver philharmonica which had milk spots on it. And I can confirm that it does work, and it left no damage on the coin visible to the naked eye.....Thank you for this video. very helpful!

[JackExEck]

@drutter that was for u and people that u cooperated with ... xD selfish bastard ! ... :P

[001MeTaBoLiC100]

Are you a teacher? Cause you sound like one

[SleepingSun1985]

I tried polish cloth my 13 maple leaf. It removed milk spots easily but left marks on the surface. Hopefully It wouldn't affect the value.

BTW I highly suspect the 25 coin tube would contribute to the minor damage on maple leaf coin. So I bought air-tite holder for my coins.

[heat45jc]

I tried the ammonia and it didn't work instantly, so I tried the eraser and it worked. I was then able to buff out the eraser's effects with Tarnex and a soft cloth. What are those marijuana leaf coins called?

[Torgo1969]

Hockey Maples FTW!

[scottj719]

thanks drutter, what can you advise for cleaning the ridged edges? Toothbrush and baking soda possibly



[lazyboy465]

James Avery jewelry cloth took all the spots off of my coins

[Skreechchannel]

use a kneaded eraser.. best thing on earth.

[hejira11]

@drutter i got a few. They owe you a commission! :)

[hejira11]

@drutter Thanks for the cleaning tips and the info!!! :)

[lilbromarky1]

2010 is gone ;)

[drutter]

@lilbromarky1

Whoa, you're the first one to notice that and say something! Thanks, I added a corrective note.

[drutter]

@OfGodsServant

It's up to you! I think the ammonia or wipes method would work best (would take a long time to erase that much). Also it may depend what the finish of the bar is. It may end up coming off, but leaving tiny abrasions you can see under certain light, so keep that in mind. If you do it, test on a small hidden part of the bar first and see if you like the result.

[Doublejoe321]

Alright! Does anyone know or have heard of milk spots being on American eagles? I have a couple American eagles that look almost like they have milky spots; I tried the baking soda hot water and salt normal tarnish removing process, it did not work! has anyone else had this problem with their eagles??

[SGTbull07]

Great tips D! Apmex hosed me about a year ago with an order in which they sent me a tube full of milk spotted maples. I put em in the safe and tried not to let it bug me. Time to pull em out and take another look.

[drutter]

@SGTbull07

I hope this helps you man. Currently I'm favouring the jewelry cloth method. It's very quick and easy (as you saw) and the resulting fine abrasions are VERY tiny and hard to see. Really does a decent job! Maybe I'm not using the right erasers. They work, but they leave some pretty obvious scuffs after, even when using clean soft erasers. I haven't tried the ammonia trick yet but I'm going to when I get some. I hear it works well and doesn't leave any scuffs, so consider that. :)

[SGTbull07]

@drutter thank you brutha,

I need to get some of those jewelry wipes, I'll have to charge em back to Apmex! :)

[siszam]

@SGTbull07 The same thing happened to me. I got out a tube of Apmex rounds that I bought in 2008. I never opened them. I just put them away. I opened them the other day and they are covered with spots. It made me sick to my stomach and angry.......oh so angry!

[momentous11]

Silver porn= milk spots?

[Enemyatthegates1]

never dull works the best...

[ohyeah10456]

thanks,the eraser method blew me away.

[Inhaler42O]

thanks Dr. Utter...I've already got my eraser out!

[HyperReport]

So, what I understand is that I should stop cleaning the milk stains on my silver maples by bathing them concentrated sulfuric acid? JK! Great post! :)

[gibbo675]

Cloudy Ammonia, is that a by product of the human body's beer recycling equipment?

[GuildF40]

If you turn the volume down you may get milk spots !

Thanks for the vid

FONZED

[Supratube1]

great to know with the milk spos, didn't know this, thanks

[nlucctw2]

ARE YOU READING FROM A SCRIPT?

[drutter]

@nlucctw2

Yeah, that's why I sound so different, and don't say "um" at all, and don't take 12 minutes to get through 5 minutes of information. I don't like how my voice sounds when I'm reading my prepared words, but it's necessary for some informational videos.

[BrutePUNKROCK]

I have a giant white fingerprint on one of my maples that appeared a few weeks after I bought it. I really want to remove it.

[davincij15]

Government is not a problem solver its a problem creator, the people of the nation solve problems not our government.

[740roadking]

Thanks for the Info!

[Airave]

Excellent! Thanks for the info!

[Zwikster]

Stop playing with your silver! You will be hairy palms! lol

When you pile up Maples up on top of each other and dump junk silver, you are scratching them up....... Maples get scratched so easily. When they sit in a tube, the weight is on the edges so its OK though. I have some big 10 oz Perth mint Year of the Tiger and Koala coins that I dont even take out of the capsules. The 5 oz proof Libertads are super nice too!

[MedicalMarijuanaMini]

thank you, thank you.

[charlesfuchs]

Its odd, I had a differnt milky white spots after playing with my coins for 5 minutes last night :-0

[denmason]

Good video Drutter, I knew the cause, now I know the remedy!

[FreedomMeister]

Great info Drutter about the milk spots on silver coins. Interesting about using erasers to clean the blemish

[81silvermj]

There are 69 "likes" for this video. Now what am i supposed to do.

[qualqui]

Thanx to them 3 other folks and to you good buddy,....so much information out there!

[cankorgbr]

great coinzzzzz

[143DREWID]

When he shows da porn, Dr. Utter is back!

[simonty1811]

Also, dont store your coins in PVC plastic like I did. I stored 100 maple leafs in cheap plastic bags and they left the milk spot residue in all of them after a few weeks. They do come off with silver cleaner and jewelery cloth as mentioned, but they will never be as good as they leave ultra-fine scratches. A coin of 9999 purity and proof finish should really leave the mint in its own casing as with the kooks.

[SILVERpeasant1996]

Oh drutter, by the way. I noticed you have a lot of 2010 Olympic maples. You should put some on your website for crazy premiums. They fly off the shelf. I don't know why, maybe a lower mintage or more saught after but almost everywhere i go there sold out. Except Ebay.

[drutter]

@SILVERpeasant1996

I managed to grab a handful of the 2010 "hockey" maples today when I was out at the dealers. I think I'll put them up on the site tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion.

[ytgv3fc7]

2 dislikes? w t f. People who wanted the secret to stay to buy at a lower price then remove the spots? Dunno. People are whacked out.

[shaurz]

@SILVERpeasant1996 Really? Glad I got a bunch when I did (at the same price as regular Maples).

[silverjunky999]

Excellent , not that It matters to me personally , if my coin has a spot on it or not, good information for those that do.. later doc!

[SILVERpeasant1996]

I tried the eraser method and it works. But it does leave little blemish marks on it but better than those stupid milk spots. Thanks JezebelDecibel and thanks drutter. Keep stckin to both u guys. And buy Junk Silver when you can.PEACE

[argentcipher]

I like the "on the previous episode of drutter" thing going on in this vid

[mathue7433]

i dump 2500 oz out on my bed and roll around naked on mine ,,,it feels good ,,try it

[beatrizgf]

Thanks Drutter. I hope you are feeling great and your kids are well. take care + greetings from Spain, Beatriz....PS: it is a great pity that you donnot deliver internationally.

[drutter]

@beatrizgf

I do ship internationally. I have less options for overseas buyers but I do have some. :)

Thank you for your comment!

[smasila]

[nmreich]

Wow thanks Drutter and all the aforementioned contributors. Helps out a TON!

[ImperfectCitizen]

[JimbobOMG]

[bigpaw64]

FINALLY AN ANSWER TO THIS DREADED MYSTERY----THANKS A BUNCH-----I WILL TRY THIS THE NEXT CHANCE I GET

[stelmorVH]

Very cool video drutter!

[dodoinurpants]

Thanks for the info!

[JezebelDecibel]

Great review and yes it's great how we can share information through this medium.

I have gained so much valuable knowledge from all the wonderful Silver Bugs. Your all so respectful & helpful & it's almost hard to believe form an investment perspective. Basically I have so much more confidence in surviving the global economic fiat fiasco collapse. I have always love silver, but now I understand it on a deeper level.

[MrAnguswangus]

I've seen silver rounds with dark spots on them...what would that be from?

Great vids :)

[drutter]

@MrAnguswangus

Dark spots on silver are almost always from tarnish, a chemical reaction between silver and sulfur from the air. I did a video on how to remove tarnish, about a year ago. Go to my channel and search my videos for "tarnish" and it'll show up. It's the one with 18,000 views.

[davematherly]

NIce!!

And it just goes to show you, its always something.

If its not milky stains on yer silver, its a solution so simple, you'd never think of it.

A life lesson, IMO.

Never give up.

:)

[acuriousbeast]

That was excellent, both the body of the work and the finale. Well done.

[Austacker]

Teasing with Sativas! Oh you... you...!!!

:)

[detectingupstate]

damn canadian mint! its the only coins ive had a problem with i beleive its a QC problem.

[davematherly]

@detectingupstate due to budgetary concerns, they've eliminated their spot checkers.

[endlessmountain]

Nice "END THE FED" coin  at the very end :)

[jimbobubbadj]

@endlessmountain Indeed Bro!

[ricochetVendetta]

@endlessmountain every coin should have that around the edges. do a video on them I reckon

[TheSmooveZ]

Excellent video, Drutter. Thanks for the info. Take care.

[combatjm89]

excellent!

[goedeck1]

Those wipes work great. It would be intesting to know what they are steeped with.

[JezebelDecibel]

@goedeck1 They don't say but it is listed as Non Toxic on every brand that I have seen.

[artdeco101010]

sweet !

[rightsideofhistory]

First comment! It gets pretty porny at 4:09 !!!! :) VERY porny !

[qualqui]
