Silver Eagles

[John5757]

I have some silver eagles where some are getting oxidized. Should I clean them or? I’ve read NEVER clean them.
With the current silver price should I sell or hold, especially the 1986 and 1996?

Never clean is what I have always been told. I’m still buying with no plans on stopping. Not an expert by any stretch.

Oh and toning is cool as far as I’m concerned.

What is that? Already got my old body toned.

Don't clean.

Also, only sell if you want out of silver or need to convert some to cash for a purchase.

How much does cleaning vs as is affect value?

worth scrap/melt value if you clean them. you dont ever clean collectible coins for any reason.

Would you really consider modern silver eagles collectible ? Pretty much value as bullion personally.
