[TheForge] silver cost

[Andrew Vida]

I remember when the germanium silver was being sorta test marketed, Jeff 
Herman told me that it would be "a little more than sterling".  At that 
time, as I recall, they were thinking about $7/ozt. when regular 
sterling was about $5.50/ozt.  This is going back about five years.
