[Winner] Silver [Silver Details] Most silver that has been mined has 'disappeared', either into products, or even investments. Most experts would be amazed if a person or organization could obtain even 10% of the silver ever mined (4-5 billion ounces). The price spike after Warren Buffett's 130 million ounce purchase helps confirm this (if there were 40+ billion ounces available, buying .3% would not have had such a major impact on the price). [Gold Details] About 11% of the gold mined each year is used industrially (compared to 62% for silver), and much of that is eventually recycled. As a result, most gold ever mined is still available (only 2% is unaccounted for). [Reason]
