<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3731729, member: 18716&quot;]I understand the sentiment with cleaning, but it is just an aesthetic choice and picking what works for the item is most important if you want to get the most profit / sell it quickly.&nbsp; Some of the big silver dealers have lots of stock which is totally clean and looks like new, even in the London Silver Vaults it is like this.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think we can all agree that for 19th and 20th century silver you are not going to get the best price selling it in a blackened tarnished form, so it does need to be cleaned and that has choices based on personal preference and/or your market.</p><p><br /></p><p>You don&#039;t have to strip all the tarnish with silver dip if you don&#039;t want to, you can brush it on then plunge into water when you want to stop the effect.&nbsp; It also takes off much less silver than abrasive polishing and you don&#039;t risk removing fine detail from prominent points while trying to reduce tarnish in the crevices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
