[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1432749, member: 23626"]Some time ago, I cleaned some silver with the baking soda solution cooking method. That works best of any process I have used to rid the sulfates without etching or harming the surface, as it's simply a chemical process that transfers the sulfate to aluminum. To speed the process, I tried running an electric current through the solution, much like they do with shipwreck coins. I acidentally reversed the Polarity on a Morgan and watched a blackness spread across the coin much like an eclipse of the sun. LOL The coin became a perfect black specimen across both sides.
