The coin I would buy to maximize profits would probably be the Canadian Maple Leaf. They are a little cheaper than American Silver Eagles here.
To absolutely maximize profit on silver though I would not buy a coin I would buy a generic silver round or bar to get it for even a little bit cheaper. But then again I am not really sure because I usually get spot plus a dollar for ASE, spot for Maples, and spot minus a dollar for generics from my LCS.
If the spot price of silver went up to $500 all bets are off, because most likely a bag of flour or a Bic lighter would be more valuable than any silver coin.

If I believed that silver was headed to $500 and ounce (or even $100) I would be buying all sorts of silver hand over fist. If I had to pick just one COIN (not round or bar) like the OP question asked, I would probably choose Canadian Maples - the premiums are lower than ASE's and they are still very easy to sell when the time comes.
I am very pro silver, but don't see $500/oz.
I still love silver coins, but I am finding the best bargains on sterling silver items at garage and estate sales, I might be averaging about 50-60% of melt.

Buy dimes as there is no shortage of silver dimes. Heck, you can easily find silver dimes coin roll hunting as well. Also, such a small sized coin will allow you to make more transactions if you could use the silver directly as currency.

I won't buy anymore Canadian Maple Leafs because of the milk spotting issues. I love Maple gold because of the .9999 as it keeps its brilliant luster.

The OP is pretty much talking about a dreamland scenario.

There is a glut of silver around the world. Its clear the best times are over for silver.

Therefore, buying large amounts of silver is a pure waste of good money and counting on making large amounts of money based on wild predictions of high numbers is really just a fantasy.

stay away from silver and gold, they are not worth investing in nor worth looking at turn over for big profits.
