Thanks happypanda! Have a good Christmas if you are celebrating.

These metals don't really degrade that much. There are loads of stories of apparent 'irresponsible' storage over decades that has resulted in little to no degredation. I guess that's what is so brilliant about these metals for this use case. That and scarcity, becasue other metals are just as corrosion resistant (if not capable of sustaining far harsher conditions). Store away from heat, moisture, people and animals... Infact, anything that respires, soil, plants etc... Make sure there are no spaces in these vaccum sealing bags. Never know with these chinesium grade food sealers. Gases trapped might do some damage and not aesthetically as pleasing as atmospheric corrosion when it's trapped in a bubble causing a localised patina. What are the bags made out of? Hopefully nothing leaching from these bags either. Just as good would be putting them in another inert envionment like under argon or nitrogen. When ever you open your capsules spray a bit of inert gas in there if you have it. This will dissipate any corrosive gases like nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, sulphides, oxygen, CO2 etc... Or could put the stuff in a vaccum box. The surface finish will only last indefinitely in an inert environment. No mint, or dealers blister packs can be assumed properly sealed, or capsules or cases etc... Sometimes patina adds value for people after years and years anyway. If it's bullion then maybe not worth too much effort of course.

Hi everyone, I got a great welcome message from chrissilver so thanks to everyone for supporting a welcoming forum like this. Hope I can contribute some stuff, but likely not much on market news. Maybe some technical stuff. Thanks for reading this far anyway. See you around. Festive regards.

Man, was hoping it would be more. Oh well. Una is okay I guess. What other great engravers do the RM have? The crown design did well recently right? And the three graces was under this great engravers marketing too. Hopefully they can do something with these. Any others? I've only really been watching them since 2020.

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if there is any info on this. Is this even a series or is it just assumed to be? The only one I see so far is the Una bar. If it is a series, does anyone know of any announcements as to the designs we can expect? If there is nothing official, what is speculated for this?
