    Plastic Sleeves V Airtight Capsules

    Nitrogen would be sensible, it is very cheap and does not react with much at room temp and pressure.

    US 90% Ag coins

    The US 90% silver is very liquid here in the USA so when it comes time to sell them you will always find a market for them over here.

    What is this silver item?

    Looks Jewish to me, like the Ark of the Covenant.

    Copper once more to look at

    The problem with copper is that we have a lot of it and the recycling industry for it is in full swing. This means that it will always have a healthy supply either from new sources or from recycled ones. I have some copper rounds (I got some free when I designed one) and a few copper bars but I...

    First time stacker... Next steps...

    Some people stick with one type of silver and others have a mixture, it is really down to personal preference. Just collect what you enjoy collecting. I have a mixture of coins, rounds, bars and 90%.

    Copper once more to look at

    It looks like you are in the USA, check your pocket change. Any penny dated 1981 or earlier is 90% copper. Also, any nickel (except for the silver ones) are about 75% copper. It is a great way to build up some copper and, if it does not work out, it is all still worth face value. With the...

    1886 Silver Bar?

    APMEX has some 4oz bars that are replicas of the $100 bill. They go for a bit over spot due to their artistic value.

    It's come to that time for me - - - Gold

    Sounds like it is too good to be true, selling them for under spot. Make sure there are no catches such as you are entered into a coin of the month club or you have to also buy other coins at way above spot to get the Eagles.

    It's come to that time for me - - - Gold

    I always like to imagine that you have just stepped into a coin shop to sell your gold. If you give them a 1oz blob of gold or even a bar then they are going to run all sorts of tests on it to determine its purity. They may end up doing a full melt assay which you would have to pay for before...

    It's come to that time for me - - - Gold

    You have to take into account that small gold items carry a larger premium than the equivalent dollar amount of silver. I have about 20% gold and 80% silver by value right now and I am slowly working up to 25% of the value being in gold. I have found that the 2.5 Peso and 5 Peso Mexican gold...

    SECONDARY MARKET METALS VALUE

    Whenever I want to add more generic silver to my stack I always buy "Secondary" as it is cheaper and I am only after the value of the silver anyway. It is also nice to have a bit of a surprise when opening the packet and seeing what they chose for me.

    Tarnish

    Tarnish is caused by silver reacting with the sulphur in the air, it is not something that can be transfered between items. If you want a fairly cheap defence against it then throw a bit of pure copper in the same box as the silver, make sure the metals do not touch. Copper is slightly more...
