Two things. Don't handle it.
Don't worry about it.
Tarnish does not change the value. The mint I used to work with said just leave it alone. Better to not scrape some silver off trying to polish it. The mint didn't care if it was tarnished. Melted and recycled the same.
If you don't open the rounds containers I don't see much if any tarnish. Moisture and oxygen needed to tarnish.
