<p>[QUOTE="1970 Silver Art, post: 1270664, member: 18828"]This is just my take on this but I do not think that cleaning a silver art bar will hurt te rarity value of that particular silver art. I do not mind some toning on a silver art bar to a certain point but if that art bar is toned to the point that it looks black, then I will take it to one of the area dealers to get it cleaned. I have had a few silver art bar cleaned (dipped) in the past because I do not like too much toning to the point where they look dark. Silver art bars are not graded like numismatic coins are and cleaning a silver art bar, in my opnion, will not have the same kind of negative effect on its ebay value like cleaning a numismatic coin. I also do not think that toning on a silver art bar have have any kind of boost on the value of it on ebay. It comes down to how much toning that a person can tolarate on a silver art bar. Some like toning a lot and some people (like me) prefer nice and shiny with little or no toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
