Got this 2017 Sov in the post today, thanks to @BleyerBullion 

I've got two halves I'm going to try and clean. a 1980 and 1982. They're only findermarks from what I can tell. I've read up and I've decided to go with Acetone and distilled water.

I've just done a thread in the gold section if you want to take a look 🙂

those plus a cheap and cheerful ultrasonic bath  - - can - - (not always) but can lift away the grease marks of fingers
just dont rub or wipe - gold is too soft and you will not fix that!
best of luck!

Bought this 2009 proof half sovereign for the price of a bullion version in my local high street. Appears to have been handled on one edge. It was either this one or a beaten up 1980's half. I've never tried to clean a proof before so what would be the safest way to remove the marks on it?

Added a mix bag of half sovs. Shame about the red oxidisation on a couple, might take the pair to be cleaned ultrasonically 

Recently come back from India and emptied a safety deposit box in India while I was there (no longer required). Managed to bring back into UK fair amount of gold without being questioned by customs. Visited Saint James in Manchester today to deposit some items and took opportunity photograph the family entire gold stack:
A lot gold held in the form of Indian jewellery
I have no idea how many oz gold is in jewellery form and 18 to 22 carat gold with some items having real diamonds. Best part of the gold stack Queens Beast bullion coins.

Six months stacking fortunate picked up most of the stack when spot prices much lower. Most of the jewellery purchased by my late dad when gold spot prices $250 oz.

Thanks to @GeorgeWoodall for the sovereigns and a half. Still a bit of the stick of the packages to remove i can see.
                

Another one from the depths of hell. Still weighs exactly 100oz.

Not as impressive as most of the stacks on here but feel I’m happy with my start. It’s all so shiny 😀...
