IIRC you can also get Mines from the Depot for 2 Silver. So you theoretically could have 3 Mines already after round 1.
So it would be possible to reach 13 Silver with Starting Silver and mines.
Meaning you'd be exactly one Silver short.

This is the same hilarious result I just calculated. One silver short! AUGH! :D
In case anyone doubts it:
- 50 dice actions
- 36 spots to fill = 72 actions required, or 22 free actions required
Free actions available from the following: Buildings (12), Castles (3), Silverlings. 15 free actions from buildings & castles leaves 7 required from silverling purchases. 1 action per two silverlings = 14 silverlings required. Starting the game with 1 silverling, you would need 13 more without spending extra actions. Taking the first 2 mines and buying one from the center in phase 1 (which itself requires some crafty choices) would get you +3 silverlings at the end of each phase. 1+3+3+3+3 = 13 silverlings useful for purchasing. 1 short. No other action can be used to improve this overall situation (e.g. selling goods takes an action and can only net you 2 silverlings = 1 action, for net 0 actions. etc.)
This also assumes you either took either the special tile letting you ignore building restrictions, or the special tile increasing your silverling gain to 2 per sale. At least one of those would be required just to get all 12 free actions from buildings.
