Silver Milk Spots Remedy? - for @silverstackeruk
Hello Steem Meisters,
After a brief discussion in relation to one of @silverstackeruk memes in this posting, I've decided to risk a 2016 Kangaroo 1oz silver coin in a little experiment.
Can you see the milky appearance intermittently around the edge of the coin?
I will be trying white vinegar as a means to remove the milkyness. It works superbly on rust removal as I found on many occasions but will it work on silver???
A little bit of a heads up, after almost 90 minutes submerged in white vinegar, there doesn't seem much of an improvement (hopefully a video will follow with regards to this).
So I've decided to give the coin a good 12 hours or more in the solution and report back tomorrow (time permitting).
Pray the coin doesn't turn dark grey as rusty steel tends to do :/
So I'll see you guys on the other side :)
Ooo, it's exciting! [marginally]
Thanks for posting. Excited to see what happens.
Thank you :)
Part #2 has now been posted on my channel.
Great post man. I seen somewhere that it should work better when submerged for longer times, Strangely nough this is the smae coin i used when i tried the soft rubber method. Using a soft white pencil rubber will remove the spots but it also take the shine away from the coin.
Cant wait to see tomorrows result buddy :-)
Cheer buddy.
Your wait is over, part #2 has now been posted :)
The CML really had issues with milk spots. I know silver is silver, but pretty silver is nicer to look at!
I'll have to have a look through my set of CMLs to check their condition. I'm not one for full inspections on delivery. I've got some 'yellowing' Brits, is that easier to deal with?
I don't know about the yellowing, but I think most people in the silver community would just leave them be, even with the milk spots. I love the purity that they have, but it's fun to be able to just hold a chunk of silver in your hand without worrying about tarnishing or light scratches. I don't have the money for it, but if I did, I would get a few 10 oz bars and some generic rounds. I really want a Steemit round (apparently someone private minted 1500).
Yes, a steemit round would be nice but I think they're quite a premium (I could be wrong). I'm primarily stacking (on behalf on my mother) for bullion value for when silver hits $10,000 an oz ;)
I have to admit though, I think I am fall in love with the shiny stuff now :)
Part #2 is posted now btw.
I would just be be happy with $100 silver. I'll take a look at part 2
