common, meaning about as common as white gold and platinum, do you think Silver will be more expensive?

Silver is whiter than white gold and platinum. As matter of fact, Silver is the whitest precious metal.

White gold is still gold, it's an alloy of gold + nickel (and sometimes some other "white" metals added).

I doubt silver is less common than gold & platinum. There are so many silver jewelry items, utensils, platters, vessels, etc in existence, and nowhere nearly as many gold & platinum of equal size & volume.

That's my question. IF silver were as uncommon as platinum and white gold, do you think the silver's value will exceed platinum and white gold, as silver is whiter than those two?

No.

You should have made this a poll.

But silver tarnishes and gold, platinum and rhodium do not. That will always make is less valuable even if it's occurrence were of the same rarity as those other metals. Even if carefully done, every time silver is polished, a tiny amount is worn away. As a use in electrical components, the tarnishing/oxidation would also affect the performance and reliability of the components silver was a part of

Silver does not tarnish, unless it is heavily mixed with other metals.

Are you guys telling me that your .925 Sterling Silver tarnishes? If so, your silver is less than .925.
