    I don't even pretend to understand the market for silver "shot". There's a reason coinage helped to begin the modern era of human development and trade. Just as there was a reason private issue coinage became popular prior to the founding of the San Francisco mint, and US coinage became the vehicle for transactions going forward.

    Gold dust was a nuisance. Impractical for anything other than the smallest transactions, questionable purity, undefined weight. Why would silver investors want to devolve?
