they would not change its color? Or does it matter for investors ?
All I have Silver Eagle .999 Fine silver rounds issued by the US Government, and Northwest Mint .999 Silver 100 oz Bars.
Silver does change color. The best way o keep it from discoloring is to keep it in an airtight container such as a 50 cal. or 30 cal. military ammo can. This is what I use. I have over 1400 ounces of silver Maple Leafs in these cans and they haven't changed color except the ones Ive handled. I do have an MS69 silver american eagle that has slight discoloring on it but that doesn't effect value. Gold doesn't discolor but can get dirty.

pure silver and gold do not change their colores. It's the impurities that cause tainted bullion to change colors. If you have a staining problem, you have fakes.

Silver will react with several things including: oils in your fingers, polyvinyl chloride in some plastic holders, sulfides, etc. The color of the silver may change over time when in contact with these impurities and reduce the value. Take great care of your coins, and they will stay in great shape. I once found an older US proof set with a black fingerprint on one of the silver coins in the plastic case that must have come from the finger of a mint employee.
