Hello all,
Sorry for the newbie post, but it is info that I can't quite get a 100% answer on in searching the web and prior forum posts. Not saying it isn't there, just saying I have yet to stumble across the answer.
Okay, question is this. If I am the hypothetical owner of a silver bar and would like to store it in a closet or maybe a safety deposit box at a local bank, should I take steps to wrap it before hand to slow/eliminate tarnishing due to exposure to oxygen?
I've seen mention of wrapping the bar in plastic wrap and/or putting it into a ziplock bag, but I wonder about putting the surface of the bar into contact with random plastics. Is that the right way to go, or do the experienced owners have a better way of protecting their silver bars? I'm assuming gold is okay to just wrap in a soft cloth?
Thanks to all who read and respond!
