Vintage Silver

Should I clean silver coins, or leave them tarnished?
I’ve got several 1980′s vintage .999 Fine Silver American Dollars that have various levels of tarnish on them.
To maintain the most value, should I leave them tarnished, or clean them?
If the answer is to clean them, what sort of product / method should I use?
Big Ben is correct here that the rule is do not clean coins. Coins tone and that is a fact of life. The rule is there, for most do not know how to do it right, but more important is knowing when you can and when you should not. A lot of ancient coins have been cleaned but done right, also they are crude anyway so do not show it as much as modern coins. A nice shinny coin that has lots of wear looks way out of place and proof coins need to be left alone period. If you are taking about uncirculated American Eagle coins, just leave them alone.
