The surface of silver coins is susceptible to contamination from oils, sweat, and acidic substances on the skin, leading to oxidation and discoloration. Therefore, it is recommended to wear powder-free latex gloves when handling silver coins to avoid direct contact.

2. Keep Clean

Dust or dirt may accumulate on the surface of silver coins. Do not use rough cloths or hard objects to wipe silver coins, as this may scratch the surface. If cleaning silver coins is necessary, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust. Try to avoid using chemical cleaners, as some chemicals may damage the coin's original luster and patina.

Silver coins are relatively sensitive to environmental humidity and temperature. The storage location for silver coins should be kept dry to prevent excessive moisture from causing oxidation and leading to discoloration or rust.
