Re: Clean 999 or not?

In my personal opinion, there is no reason not to clean items which are held purely for their bullion value. Obviously you wouldn't want to go cleaning a coin with numismatic value greater than the metal value, but for bullion I say go for it. even more so with bars and such.
I pick up dirty Maria Theresa Thalers all the time and they each get a clean to make em shiny again as they are only worth the metal value and I like em shiny.
Controversial I know, but I find the cheapest, easiest way to clean tarnish off silver without damaging the surface to any great degree is to use house-hold cleaner called Cillt Bang (called Easy-Off Bam in the USA).

Just spray on, wipe with a damp cloth under hot running water, pad dry and done. In all but the most tarnished of coins I find the "cartwheel" effect remains intact post-clean.
Great for copper rounds too.
