Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 11:04 pm Let's have a vote, I am having a hard time decided if I should polish my 5 oz silver poured bars. Currently they look very rough and not shiny. I also know that I'll lose some silver in the process and will have a hard time selling them in the future. Any thoughts?

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 11:14 pm Why do you want to polish them? What is wrong with them having an original (and genuine) very rough cast finish? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 11:15 pm I think you kind of answered your own question. It's just bullion kept with the ultimate intent to sell, so I'd leave them be.

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 12:41 am Before polishing, I would try soaking it for a few seconds in coin dip, then rinsing in flowing water for a couple minutes. Pat dry with a towel. That might bring back the shine without totally trashing the bar. Report this Post to the Staff
