We cannot store silver nitrate, AgNO3 solution in copper vessel because according to reactivity series copper is more reactive than silver. Thus it will displace silver from AgNO3 solution forming copper nitrate soltuion. The reaction is:
2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) →Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) →Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
