Hi Jay:

From a transport / storage standpoint Silver is worse than gold.

Consider you need around 430 oz of silver to match 10 oz of gold (those 500 oz. boxes are heavy).

Then you have to keep the silver out of the air (sulfur turing the coin black) which then requires a special solution to clean (not polish as one will deminish the value of the coin).

Maybe a a silver cleaning business will be profitable in the future, but one will need security and a barrier to entry. :)

Storage it difficult for both. Security being the issue.
