I'm truly sorry to tell you this. Numquam is the negative word here, pretium means worth or value. Argentum (silver) as you may have surmised is money.

Are you sure that what you read is "numquam Argentum pr(a)etium"? Could it not be "nummum argent(e)um pretium"? In that case it would mean "of the value of a silver nummus" (accusative of specification)

Instead of putting in brackets the \"e\" in argent(e)um I did for \"pretium\" which is correct as it is! Sorry for this...
