Why is the Statue of Liberty made with copper and not silver?

I know that the Statue of Liberty is made from copper because copper is less reactive compared to other metals. However, silver is less reactive than copper, so would silver have been a better choice for the Statue of Liberty?

Silver would have been very expensive.
Silver tarnishes to an almost black colour while Copper tarnishes to a nice green.
And probably some thieves would have tried to steal the silver.
