If you want to keep silver as wealth, buy actual silver coins and bars. Not dinnerware.

The top 1% own ETF shares, and the top 0.001% own industries.

Sterling silver is more pure than most constitutional silver coins (which is exactly why they are not more pure; the mint does not want the coins melted constantly). If you want to own a bunch of silver for investment and also enjoy having it, there's nothing wrong with having some of it in dinnerware.
