Polishing silver with baking soda
(Edited)
So I found this recipe on how to polish silver that seemed simple and gentle and decided to give it a try...mostly because I had nothing better to do and out of curiosity, not that I plans to do it with my old pieces!
Pretty basic stuff. Water and soda.
I decided to try it on my silver 6 pence from Australia, first because it looked like total shit. And second because I think it doesn't have much value anyways. To save on the soda I just used a plastic cap from a milk bottle:
So here are the results after just one bath

Not bad! Unfortunately the red cum stain seemed unaffected...if you have any ideas about it let me know!

.I remember this video, I know Silver Dragons when his handle used to be Silver Baggins before Warner BRos hit him with a Cease & Desist order from using the 'Baggins' LOTR Trademark.
The process works nice on low value silver coins.

Although there are still speckles of stains even after polishing, I still think the result is astonishing after you polished them. It was even good you firstly tried it on a cheaper coin. But if you keep polishing it even after this, wouldn't it lose its essence?
Yeah I guess most people like en tarnished, me I don't care just was bored and gave it a try 😂
It’s nice to see that these method of polishing it worked. After polishing it, can it still be used to purchase stuffs and still have high value? I never knew they can be polished.
If it's in circulation, yeah I guess
Ok nice 🙂
hmmm...
I clean my very old silver under running water and a gentle, soft brush and wipe it of using a cotton cloth.
Old housewives trick and always works. Hydrochloric acid will get rid of the cum stain quite comfortably along with the coin lol.

Fucking people Cumming on coins 😂😂😂
LMAO. 😂😂😂
Sorry for being a graduate from the Killjoke University but HCl would not react with the Silver Coin. Nitric Acid would do the job. No Coin, No red stain 😂😂 only red fumes!

It looks much better after the cleaning. I hope other people are able to help you remove the red cum stains.

That's truly impressive. Recently I tried cleaning one of my silvers with warm water mixed with detergent. Let it soak for 5 hours then rub with a cloth. Results were accepted but not as good as jewellery cleaners !
Try the soda thing its really quick, cheap and safe
Before discovering this trick, I used to buy silver polish. lol
