I would strongly suggest avoiding using ammonia on anything that is silver. Silver will dissolve in ammonia, so each time you use it your silver items will lose a little of their silver weight. Yes, it does make them nice and shiny but that is because you are exposing brand new surface each time you do it.
There are a couple of videos on YouTube that show you how to remove the "milk spots" from silver Maple coins. I don't know if this gets rid of them permanently or if it has to be done from time to time, though.

I never cared for the 5-oz. silver rounds myself. I like bars of that size but not rounds that sort of look like coins. I dunno... maybe it is the Washington quarter obverse that gets me. That wasn't a favorite of mine either. Not to worry, though, as plenty of people do like those and they seem to sell quite well.

Thats the kind of box I would like to have. I have started buying a few rolls of the wildlife coins as they release but only started with the cougars. The best thing about it is if you piece them out individually on ebay you would probably do great.

I used the silver wipes. It did remove a fair bit but not all of it, which some of the worst coins it smeared it around. Didn't seem to effect it negatively otherwise. YMMV.
