Do you clean your bullion?

I regularly use Tarn-X on my 90% when it first arrives. Sometimes secondary market rounds can use some as well. As for new rounds I stickem in the tubes without touching them.

    Sometimes, if it is something that I intend to keep (rarely) and if it is spotted.

    I also recommend using Tarn-X on all Silver Eagles that have a higher value due to the date and/or condition. I believe that will prevent future "milk spotting" (but it won't cure milk spots that have already formed - nothing will).

    I stack mine in the shower. Stays clean.

    Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.

    Rarely, maybe 1% or 2% of it and only if there's a foreign substance that needs to be removed.

    I recently received a 1/10 Au Brit that had a tiny spot of what looked like strawberry jam on it. Got most it off with a toothpick.

    People like shiney, so once in awhile I will dip one.

    I do want to specify that I would never clean a numistmatic coin. Only bullion.

    Years ago I would polish my vintage poured bars. I cringe now when I think back! :#
    But now, no, I leave them original I treat them like coins…

    I may wash them with soap and water very gently just to get finger oils off the surface, but as for cleaning them in a harsh way, never!
