Someone tried to pay me with a baseball card collection when I arrived once. I declined and went for the cash. If you're getting paid in silver coins or bullion you'd better make sure you have the silver certificates that come with them. I don't know much about silver trading but if you can make money with it good for you and good luck! That's awesome! But remember there are lots of silver scams out there right now so make sure to get your numbered certificates. Good luck!
