As far as an investment, I think silver will do much better percentage wise over gold. It is a store of value just like gold and has been used as real money for thousands of years. I don't think the store of value label will ever go away. It is also being consumed industrially in many ways, negating the above ground supply. In fact there are some knowledgeable people that are claiming there is more above ground gold available than there is silver. If and when the fiat systems go into total failure worldwide I would think silver would have it's place in a barter type exchange society. Gold is great but what about for smaller items. I would not want to trade a k- rand for a loaf of bread unless it's a final act of desparation. It's a stretch I know. But I think those old 90% silver US coins would be a hit.
