There is no shortage of Silver in the world .. there is only a shortage of processed Silver suitable for investment like coins, rounds, bars, etc.
Make up your mind knuckles. First you say there is "no shortage"...then you say "there is only a shortage of processed silver". Sounds like you have a bad case of bipolar.
You also forgot to mention the mines that are currently suspended, reduced production or closing due to covid 19 that will be affecting silver production.
