GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 10:30 am I recently received a small silver statue while metal detecting a local park. It's over sterling purity but the jeweler's markings have been damaged. The LCS says they believe it's .999 fine. I have an offer to buy contingent on the removal of some black, gray and gold tarnish on the statue. What's the best, least invasive method of conservation for this? Thanks, Everyone!
