Still killing it with the 15" on the Nox. Today I pulled this Barber half from the old infield at the fairgrounds. Normally I just give my silvers a hard scrub with soap/water or toss them in the tumbler and/or rub them down a bit with baking soda paste. But this one seems to be a fairly low mintage of 924k and has super nice details with full liberty so I want to clean it up a bit but not take value away. Atleast get some of that black color off of it. I know everyone's going to say just leave it alone, but I don't want to. 
I know Goes4Ever and a few others here have very carefully cleaned key date coins and even gotten them to come back slabbed without being tagged as "cleaned". Just wondering what would be a few of those methods. Just water/toothpick? How about those Andre's pencils, do they leave fine scratches all over? Olive oil? Feedback from anyone who's done it would be appreciated and any before/after pics.
