DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 05:02 am TarnX is a silver polish, a lot of its effect is due to abrasive action. Never use it to clean coins, unlike "dipping" it's use renders the coin ungradeable. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 823 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 04:17 am No, I'm not a shill; I hate ugly toning (to me sometimes it's just ugly tarnish). TarnX is NOT polish, it is a clear liquid dip. No abrasion involved. My god, I've been experimenting with stuff on coins since the 1960's when you could still get George V silver in change ! When I was a kid and thought it was okay, my mother said to try baking soda. Oh yeah, it took off the black alright. Who knew at 12 that was a nono ? I've tried many things and this is the fastest, best I found, for certain silver coins (makes copper orange). I saw a program showing how NGC "conserved" coins. Ask them what they use on sunken silver coins. HA ! Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5598 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 08:34 am I think that DBM got Brasso and Tarnx mixed up. I agree that tarnX is just a dip, mostly used for spiffing up grandma's sterling silver dinnerware. It's safe to use, but I wouldn't use it on something that is worth much more than common value.
