Though i dont have a picture this bar was heavily tarnished on all four sides and
This stuff took care of all of it, worth it,s wait in gold, by the way you can get
This product at Walmart !

 

Your silver, your choice. The silver polish cream will leave scratches on the surface. These will be only visible under magnification and tilting the object to get the light just right. For these items that would not be too bad, but for uncirculated or proof coins, might as well use a wire brush.

 

I'd be concerned about the effects of the application of this product, two or three years down the road.........

 

For items like this, I would use the washing soda/aluminum foil method instead.

 

The question, for you, should not be what it looks like today, but what it looks like tomorrow. Or are you going to repeat this the day before you sell.

 

This stuff is abrasive free, and as gentle as a baby,s butt, no harsh chemicals
and i always use a polishing cloth, great way to clean things up that are dull and dingy...LOL, but it sure beats the heck out of dipping !

 

For a process that takes 1 minute to complete, i think the answer is easy, just thought i would share my results

Anhydrous Aluminum Silicate, Quartz...abrasives.

 

What effects would you be referring to on a silver bar that arent there already ?

 

Honestly, if you are happy with it, that is all that matters. The only caveat I would add would be to give the silver items a good soapy cleaning and THOROUGH rinse to make sure you leave the least amount of "stuff" on there to cause future problems.

 

All i can say, is the results speak for them selves, and i am more then happy with them

 

Even without magnification, use a light source and tilt one of the items back and forth and see if you notice any lines.

 

That is recommended that they are washed and yes always follow the manufactures
Instructions of course

 

I had a mint state 5 mark coin from 1878 which was heavily tarnished until I added sand to the jewelry cleaner. Came out blast white.




















Well, if you believe that..... But the effect on value would probably be about the same for anything except spot-price bullion.

 

First of all i,am not setting there rubbing the thing in to the ground, just a couple
Passes over with a small amount of cream and a polishing cloth, i like my results
and will continue using the product and no i dont on any wrights silver cream stock
LOL

 

Only giving you my two cents..LOL for what ever its worth

 

I have actually used this



on some things, but shhhhhhhhh...don't tell anyone.
