I'm not sure I could get myself to trade one hundred Silver Troy Ounces for one Gold T-oz. But, imagine, buying a huge farm, long ago, and needing one hundred Silver payment wagons, with drivers, guards, horses, etc, vs. one Gold wagon. And if one has to swim for it... For a bugout, bury the Silver, and run with the Gold. Some "Experts," say out of the ground, the G/S ratio is 7:1. Silver is getting harder to find & depleting. Some say it will be impossible to build a new electrical grid from scratch. Just are not enough not resources, from most difficult to impossible to find or produce. Most of the easy stuff has already been mined.
