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!

i tried the eraser method and it works! removing most of the cloudy milk stains but still the coin looks not as polish as those perfect ones (which comes with mirror like Elisabeth II face)

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

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

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).

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.

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.

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.
