Electrolysis cleaning

I realize electrolysis cleaning method is good for copper coins. But, can you use the same process for silver coins? Coins with little value of course.

Gee, what a knucklehead. I meant exactly the reverse of what I posted.

Any coin with diaelectrics like oil from your fingers, can be damaged badly! Just like etching a circuit board, it will leave marks.

I looked for "washing soda" a while back for another project. I could not find a local store that sold it, where do you get yours? Got more than a few funny looks when I asked about it, they kept offering me backing soda...

We get our washing soda at the grocery store(Acme).
