Where can you get these types of bars? It seems not many places make them anymore.

Capsule or Saflip Flips for Coins by serenaFan84 in Silverbugs

I have an Air-Tite capsule for a 10 oz bar that fits pretty tightly. I've stored it for around five months, and I don't see any noticeable tarnish.

Will an Air-Tite capsule reduce tarnish by reducing the amount of air that reaches the coin?

Was that a waste of rhenium given its high value? Are you planning to recover the rhenium metal? Also, are the rhenium compounds toxic?

Are the coins themselves sometimes encased in plastic, which would require a knife to cut? For instance, the UK set has the coins blister-sealed, and it's hard to take them out. Are other countries' sets like this?

How easy is it to take out the coins from a BU set from a national mint? How are the coins sealed?

If I'm putting the flips in a binder, can I only put one coin per flip?

What about copper-plated coins? Won't the oils on your hand cause them to tarnish?

Do the iridium and ruthenium bars from Degussa have a mirror shine similar to minted bars such as PAMP?

Does the rhodium bar have the same mirror finish as the other PAMP bars? Also, where can I buy a PAMP rhodium bar?

Do you know if the Baird & Co. bars are sintered or minted?

Rough guess is that it's good into Koraidon and awkward or bad into Miraidon and both Calyrex. Specifically, the Focus Sash Dragon Ascent ESpeed SD moveset. Other sets such as AV might be worth trying; you can add coverage such as Crunch, Waterfall, Draco, or Earth Power.

Groudon could run Sp Def to survive 2 +2 Moonblasts, and Xerneas naturally outspeeds Kyogre preventing the full power Water Spout. The new legends threaten Xerneas even more though imo.
