Best to be like water. Which benefits the ten thousand things and does not contend. It pools where humans disdain to dwell. Close to the Tao.

As for the maples I was just thinking how badass your stack looked, and lo and behold you're complaining about tarnish. They're silver rounds buddy, rounds and bars are ugly as fuck anyway. What do you want to do, dress up your princess in them? They're silver pieces, made for trading and melting. I don't get these ppl who complain about surface problems when they buy a bullion round. If you think maple leaf rounds are so beautiful you want perfection just pay an extra twenty or thirty bucks for a proof. Problem solved. But no, they want them cheap and expect a proof like finish for next to nothing. What did you pay for these, a dollar and a half over spot? This guy didn't even wash his hands after changing his oil, and wonders how the coins he's handling got toning... They're silver bullion rounds... They're not meant to be encapsulated and worshipped.
