Hello, new here. This isn't a rare coin question, but I was hoping someone here could help me out.
I have some Canadian Maple Leaf Silver coins, and a couple have finger prints that have turned into what looks like a very prominent milky white residue. Does anyone know what this is?
I tried to wash one off in some water with a very very small amount of standard dishsoap to no avail. It didn't even lessen the blight.
Is there anything to be done about this without messing up the coin more? (my concern is getting a good spread on spot price)
I know this forum is more for collectable coins, and it's generally not good to clean collectible silver, but I figured you guys would know if anyone would.
Thank you
