I very tentatively suggest that the answer is that heat conduction up the silver bar will be subject to an effect similar to what happens in the gas — i.e. as a silver atom moves a tiny distance upwards to hit the next silver atom (and transmit the heat), it will lose a tiny bit of energy due to gravity.
