    If precious metals were stored at or near freezing temperature, would this cause any damage to the surface of the metals?

    Hmmm... It's a good point.

    My guess is "Yes" it would. Moisture would likely condense on the metal. The more variable the temperature the more condescension and evaporation cycles would be experienced and the greater the effect. Oxygen is another aspect. Moisture, oxygen, temperature.

    If I ever find out where you live, I'm going to raid your freezer. :p

    Nope. I've stored few different kinds of plain bullion silver in the freezer before and nothing happened.

    Last week Caput started a thread and revealed that he just moved 6 hours away from Sydney and that the Westpac bank there only allowed up to 6 kilos of storage in their safe. And because it doesn't snow in NSW, he can't be thinking of burying the excess of his PMs in the ground. Dumbo just gave it away. :lol:

    Yes, but I doubt very much that he moved to the highlands near Vic border.

    A 6 hour radius drive from Sydney covers practically all of NSW. So the chance that he moved there is small. Odds are stacked that it's in his freezer. ;)

    If CL's freezer ever gets raided, Skyrocket is the prime suspect :p

    Whenever someone uses a hourly figure distance to a place, it's always by car. ;)

    I'm referring to a walk-in industrial freezer as a temporary measure until I can get to Sydney you cockstain
