.
The wax paper envelopes (also known as "glassine envelopes" in stamp collecting parlance) are neutral and will not harm the silver. They are not air-tight, however. But silver ingot collectors don't generally mind toning on their bars (some even prefer it).
After many years one finally showed up on ebay. This is the first one I've ever seen anywhere.
It's the 2006 International Association of Silver Art Collectors Coin Club Medal by Dan.
It is a 39mm, "brushed" Bronze Medal with a reeded edge.
It's in very good shape for being 18 years old, a fun find in the wild.....

If you’re concerned with silver bars tarnishing take a look into intercept shield bags
Not Dan's latest, but new to me. I bought these from Dan/Moonlight Mint when they came out.
Some of them six (6) years ago (2018 - 2020). Over time I sent them to ANACS for certification.
Then my life got a bit complicated, and I set them aside ... for quite sometime.
I finally spent some time cataloging them over the past couple of days.
They're ready to go in my Lighthouse albums, and took a quick pic to share on this thread.
I have about 70 certified Dan Carr tokens & medals. I may try to get some individual slab shots w/my phone.
Thanks for looking.

The latest offerings are interesting but a bit too expensive and esoteric for me. The way I'm looking at mintage figures most of the bars are basically unique?
@SPalladino said:
With the recent posts on the Moonlight Mint 1970 and 1975 Ikes, I sure hope that Daniel gets around to the 1979 Ike! I recall him mentioning that he was likely done with the Peace $ series after the 1929-S, 1930-D, 1932-D, and 1933-S, but that he was considering a 1979 for the Ike series. I can only wish and wait. Die pair 6 please.

That's my understanding as well. I did grab a couple and wish they were cheaper so I could grab more. My Carr habit is getting expensive! If I am reading everything correctly, he's got a bunch more he's holding onto for now.

I am an idiot! Just received my latest package from Dan which included a 10oz silver bar. I also picked up the quarters he has up for a while. When opening i immediately pulled the coins out and started dumping out the packing peanuts and of course that bar slide right out and straight into the garbage can. I was able to safely recover the bar.
My question. Does Dan send the paper insert like he does with coins for bars? I couldn't find anything but there was some nasty I wasn't willing to dig through looking.

I don't believe my bar came in the "sticky" cardboard as I feel like I would have seen that. The coins did come in the sticky cardboard which was very easy to find and pull out. I dug around and needed to get some of the peanuts out of the way. When I got it out of the trash it was just the bar.
Was there an paper insert or not for the bars?

Looks like people got some really nice DC items on the cheap last night at GC. I only bid on a couple but they would have been back ups so I didn't do much. Congrats to those that won last night. Enjoy the newps.
The 1oz SLQ Centennial at $52 stood out as a big winner.

That's my understanding as well. I did grab a couple and wish they were cheaper so I could grab more. My Carr habit is getting expensive! If I am reading everything correctly, he's got a bunch more he's holding onto for now.

Count me in. Love the Trade Dollar design as-is. And I'd suggest 1872-CC for a fantasy overstrike.
Also, I wouldn't mind if it's overstruck on a Morgan or Peace dollar -- as long as it's more affordable than Dan's 1886-O Trade Dollar.
And make a bunch of varieties... antiqued, circulated, off-center, you-name-it.
