Hi, how do I clean my silver? I know it can decrease it's value for coins but mine are only valuable because of the silver content, so it's ok to clean right???

But won't that make big scratches? What about the ring?

If you're not worried about collector value just use Tarn-x. I wouldn't recommend it for too much else though. Or the aluminum foil, baking soda, salt and boiling water method.

I did that with my coins and it worked. But my ring still looks tarnished... it got better but not all way.
