Interesting American Silver Eagle Allocation analogy, Bix. The US Mint has not even minted a Billion (1oz) American Silver Eagles, since 1986, yet. With the US Population at 335 million, the allocation, of 1 Billion, would be less than three ASEs, per Citizen. More like two. That will be a lot of wealth, stored in one Troy Ounce, of Silver. I'm going up to the Local Coin Shop, tomorrow.
