<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 275559, member: 3011&quot;]Predictions are for fortune tellers.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t think it is difficult to see that the supply/demand situation for silver makes it highly probable that silver will go up in price, perhaps by a lot.&nbsp; I&#039;ve even seen a few arguments to favor the postion that the price of silver will someday exceed the price of gold.&nbsp; The basis is the fact that there is more above ground gold than above ground silver in the world, and a much larger percentage of the silver is consumed annually by industry than is true of gold.&nbsp; There was also a government survey a few years back [I forget which agency published it] that forecasted that silver would be the first major industrial metal that will basically be completely mined-out globally by about the middle of the 21st century.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t mean that no silver will be mined.&nbsp; It just means that the quantity will be a small fraction of what it is now.&nbsp; Gatzdon correctly points out that there are ways to recover silver other than by mining, but it&#039;s going to take unbelievably high silver prices to make it economically feasible. </p><p><br /></p><p>So silver coins are not only collectibles.&nbsp; They are also long term call options on the potential future price increase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
