David is correct, but silver will tarnish significantly slower than copper, regardless of location, and if the coil is kept under Plexiglas this should help also. Polishing the copper or silver with a wax based polish will extend "shinyness" time, but nothing short of lacquer (which would be inappropriate for a tap-able primary) willkeep if from turning dark eventually.
Find tap first, then lacquer. Most coils don't change tuning much, especially if it's a display coil, as opposed to an engineering mule.
cooler too.) Gold also tends to plate very thin, and it is often unrecommended to polish it after plating (unless the professionals do it with their cyanide based formulas, which work much better than anything sold to the public as far I can tell.)
Yes indeed.. if you're gold plating, take it to a place that does it everyday all day.
