I was looking at some ebay auctions and came across this ICCS 25 cent with a comment I've never seen before: Silver Wash. I take it this is referencing some kind of cleaning or treatment. Can anyone elaborate a bit? Thanks!

Silver wash as I know it is a product that cleans,shines,and leaves a coating on silver to seal it from exposure.My wife used to use it on her candlesticks etc.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I would consider someone putting that on their coins "cleaning them"

LOL Any blast white silver coin that is around 100 years old has been "conserved", ICCS may call it dipped/silver wash/cleaned or say nothing at all depending on who you are, who submits it etc etc etc. Please think as to how a silver product stays silver looking over 100 years? The NATURAL state of silver that old is ummmmmmmm not silver/white, but conservation (love that term)allows this. Just my opinion of course. I asked the owner of the finest set of Edward 25 cent coins to exist how his coins managed to stay so pristine and uniform......his wonderful smiling response was "They were well conserved" for him! Snow here in Eastern Ontario...........wooooooohoooooooooo
