Do you guys use the air tite containers or something else?

Its my understanding that air tite storage prevents tarnish. So that would seem to be the best way to go.

I found quite an extensive and scientific explanation of why silver tarnishes here:

It is in relation to Silver artefacts but will apply just as well to bullion coins and bars

Store it? I've said before and no one has ever corrected me... you mean we don't have to dig a hole and bury it immediately? :shock:

I feed coins to my dog and then let him do his business in Doc's yard. After he offers me just a little more, I'm planning to sell him the dog. ;)
