34. The silver in the White House is of historic value.

The price of silver on any day does not reflect the value of the antique silver in the White House. Daily prices posted for silver on Kitco is for use in trade or scrap and MFG. It is quoted in 'troy ounces' not avoirdupois.

Also, in consideration is the value of silver items given a sitting president, whether antique or with a provenance that gives it more value, even if it does not fit the antique parameters.

Heck, they could hide the jewels in a suitcase. BTW, does anyone check what is being packed up? Some of the goodies might be used to enrich or placate a buddy to whom this idiot president owes a favor to two.
