Rather than thinking about the dollar-price of silver, it's better to think about silver (and gold) as insurance. A modest amount of either in a safe place that only you can access never loses its true value - regardless of the nominal value of the soon to be defunct US dollar. If you are fortunate enough to have larger holdings, you have a great store of value to ride out the coming financial collapse that is being orchestrated to justify roll-out of a Central Bank Digital Currency and a Chinese-style social credit system. Gold is best viewed as a long-term store of value for preserving wealth until after the great financial collapse and reset, while silver - esp. pre-1964 coins - is likely to be useful as currency during the tough times that are ahead.
