I could not find a reference to costs there, but if the other article is correct then a share of an ETF is an eroding asset.

Over time each share can't match Silver dollar for dollar. The actual worth of a share this morning may be $127.50 (as of the last tick I see) but a year from now it should be less than 10 ounces of Silver on the open market.

I don't know how many troy ounces per share that GLD represents, but by the price of GLD I would guess it was originally 1/10th of an ounce. The price of a share of GLD appears to slightly lag the spot price of Gold if this is so

EDIT

I was looking at the Futures Market for Silver price. Spot is $12.58 so $125.80 a share..
