silver costs less than gold, and gold is a far better conductor

Right now:

1 oz silver = 25$ to 30$ Canadian.
1 oz silver = 1050$ Canadian

However! I said the appreciation is more, in value, that is the percentage it gains in value compared to the original purchase price.
Silver appreciates by as much as 100% of its own value, i know that cause I have been following this stuff for a while and silver went from 50$ to 25$ in about a year. Gold only fluctuates slightly compared to its original value, about 5%, (yes I know 5% of 1000$ is double that of 100% of 25$)

The last I checked silver went up by as much as 2000% in value since the early 20th century, where as Gold went up by as much as 200% (although this one varies a lot depending on the region)

No, Gold in its purest form is in fact is a weaker conductor (only slightly though), but silver tarnishes which weakens the conductivity to under that of Gold, which is why sensitive equipment has Gold.

In fact the best conductor is Diamond.

it's also not even very strong lol

Silver is indeed not the strongest, but it is strong, in fact one of the problems of using for electrical conduction is that it's too rigid. Mixing silver into other metals results in a lot better metal.

I dunno - I appreciate a fur who collects these, Ive always wanted my own silver piece and saving to get a gold ingot myself (NOT the gold bar, that would be way too much) !

A gold bar (brick) is about $250 000.
*drools*
I say buy some silver coins NOW. Silver fluctuates between 25$ and 36$ in Alberta. Buy it when its closer to 25 and sell it when its closer to 36, and just keep doing this. Silver isn't that expensive, so you ca own some and make a bit of cash. That's my primary goal right now.
Who knows maybe that gold bar isn't that far.

well it could prevent you from being attacked by werewolves ;3...

True true ... I forgot about that... thanks!

Kanata Where do you buy your silver?

I bought my first bunch of silver at Albern Coins and Foreign Exchange in Calgary, some vintage coins where purchased from a co-worker and my last coins where bought at G & G Jewelry and Coins in Windsor.
