<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 769982, member: 21603&quot;]The silver to gold ratio is currently based off of what it costs to produce a .9999 fine silver coin vs. a .9999 gold coin.&nbsp; Currently, the cost for extracting that gold is about 60 times more expensive than silver.&nbsp; For one thing, silver is mined as a secondary to other metals such as zinc, copper, and lead.&nbsp; Therefore, the costs aren&#039;t calculated into what it takes to produce it.&nbsp; Since these companies don&#039;t deal in silver primarily, they treat it as surplus revenue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the only way you will have the gold silver ratio going back below 20 to 1 is if all production of gold and silver stopped, and all that was left was what is above ground.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think this is a likely scenario in my lifetime.....maybe my grandkids.&nbsp; So, maybe you could will all that silver for them, so when the PM is all depleted, they will be rich.&nbsp; But, us.....I don&#039;t think so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
