Cleaning of silver

Worked like a charm no doubt, but I've heard this is not a good way to clean silver coins if they have any value.
Just wondering why, if anyone knows.
The baking soda looked harmless enough to me.
 
I use electrolysis--either a 9 volt, or a battery charger.
Don't use salt-the chlorine will do more harm than good.
If its a rare coin-do nothing, take it to a dealer for advice.
 
I use this way on jewelry that is just too hard to clean by hand.
Some water mixed with baking soda just starting to boil in a small pot on the stove, place a piece of foil on the bottom and just drop the object on the foil for a few seconds.
The ring below was found in the bank of a very old fishing pond.
The constant dampness tarnished it to black and I was surprised when I saw the 925, too many nooks and crannies to polish it by hand so I used this method.
Works great...science rules!
