There are a number of ways to clean your silver, but you need to be careful as to what methods you use. Many of the over-the-counter silver jewelry cleaners contain harmful carcinogens that have been known to cause cancer, so you might want to avoid those for your silver-cleaning needs.
The best way to keep silver clean is to avoid tarnish to begin with. To do this, make sure that you store your silver in a zip-lock baggie. When silver gets dirty or tarnished, create a baking soda paste with water and baking soda and gently rub the paste all over the silver with a damp cloth until the silver is clean. Rinse the silver off and make sure you dry it well before storing it or wearing it. People have also been known to use this same method using toothpaste instead of baking soda and water.
Answer
I put baking soda and boiling water in an aluminum baking pan and heat it on my stove top then i dip my silver items in it and let soak for a few seconds, they come out quite clean with little 'elbow grease'.

∙ 16y agoThis sounds crazy and I have never found any direct research regarding it, but I swear PEOPLE can shine silver. By people, I mean their skin. Something in some peoples' skin tarnishes silver but others can have the opposite effect. Years ago a friend of mine wore a silver ring and it turned nearly black with tarnish. Then he would pass it to me, I would wear it for a few days, give it back, and it would be beautifully silver again. We were continually switching it back and forth because every time he would tarnish it and I would shine it. Try rubbing your fingers on it.

What is the value of a 1941 silver penny?
The US never made silver pennies. For one thing, they'd be the size of a pencil eraser because silver is much more valuable than copper.Your coin was almost certainly an ordinary cent that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar.Some people mistakenly believe that the zinc-plated steel cents minted in 1943 were made of silver, so that's another possible source of confusion about the coin's composition.The US Mint only produced bronze cents in 1941, and has never minted a silver cent. Your coin is almost certainly plated. In 1941 dimes were silver and they're smaller than cents. A cent-sized coin made of silver would have been worth about 15¢, and there's no way the Mint would take a 14-cent loss on every penny they struck.
