Based on some information I found the Comstock Lode produced at today’s prices almost $500 MM worth of silver. Potosi produced 40,000 tons of silver = 1.28 billion ounces valued at today’s prices a little over $20 billion.
Wow, Potosi was huge. That’s about what I found in a cursory search. Comstock produced produced $50,000,000 dollars worth, smelted and minted out of the ore. Close to $800,000,000 at today’s silver price. Potosi dwarfed Comstock, if figures are correct. Thanks for the info.
