    Maybe someone will chime in as to what they do with silver. I find that when you use a soft toothbrush it pushes the dirt around which seems to leave tiny scratches.

    Congrats on some awesome finds, OSD. As everyone has already stated, that seated quarter is delicious!!!! As for cleaning silver, I just check the date first to see if it is a key date and has considerable value, and if it doesn't I just clean it with soapy warm water and a soft toothbrush. I don;t worry about the tiny scratches if it's not a valuable coin.

    Congrats on some great finds! And a Walker too? Wow.

    Way to go Drew!
    You know you had a killer hunt when a quarter is a better find than a Walker half!
    From the seated family, a quarter is one that has still eluted me
    Congrats on all those sweet finds!
