So I got my first (half) Reale the other day
Now I've dug plenty of beach silver and it's all been common stuff, Merc's, Roosies, Washington's for the most part. They are all black of course and I just clean them with baking soda because I want them to look like silver, no biggie.
But now I've got this little bucket list, been dreaming of for over 20 years, coin.
I want to clean it...a bit. But I'd rather leave it black than ruin it. I'm thinking olive oil bath.
There has to be someone out there who has successfully cleaned a very old beach silver without destroying it, what did you do? Got pics?
