<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2037483, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m afraid &quot;common sense&quot; is firmly on the side of &quot;clean things that are dirty, polish things that are tarnished&quot;. We&#039;re firmly entrenched in the realm of &quot;uncommon&quot; on this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mother, a <i>very</i> sensible person whose parents and children were all coin collectors over long periods, found a few silver dollars that she&#039;d been given many decades ago. I warned her not to clean them, and her response was &quot;I&#039;m glad you said that, because when I saw how tarnished they were, my first thought was to polish them.&quot; Indeed, they&#039;re pretty darkly toned, but I also have a feeling that they&#039;ve been polished before. After all, if you&#039;ve got nice silver, you&#039;ve got to &quot;take care of it&quot;...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
