Are there any negative affects from storage in plastic? Do they lose value if removed from the plastic?
Same questions apply for silver bars.
Would appreciate the feedback.

Sealed bars are more desiderable when it comes to sell.
While I take out the silver bars because the plastic is going to harm them, my gold ones stay in the plastic because gold doesn't tone.
Let see what the other forumite have to say. Little guess: Gecko takes them out and Weiss keeps them in!

It's a good question, but it's easy to answer for yourself with some thought.
Keeping bullion in its original packaging provides protection, both physical and in terms of authenticity--to a degree. It lends a quality of originality.
Lots of bullion is made with a proof-like finish, which hairlines and scratches easily.
As we discussed in the silver thread on the same topic, there is a *possibility* of pvc damage. But pure gold and pure silver (and palladium & platinum) tend to be non-reactive. One of the reasons they're precious metals in the first place.
Some people don't like the space the extra packaging takes up. And having similar-sized bars "naked" makes they stack and store easier.
Ultimately it's a personal preference. I buy in-plastic most of the time, for the same reason I tend to buy top-tier bullion mfgs: when I buy I think of selling. And I want to bring the highest premium. To me that says top-tier bars in their original packaging.

When we say harmful damage, do we mean things like discoloration, deterioration, pitting?
I am new to the buillion bars and would like to familiarize myself with storage options.

Usually it is toning, it can be very dark, especially on the corners.
Sometimes are black spots, very little ones.
