However it is unlikely to exist as the ligand COH (which is basically protonated carbon monoxide) will mean the + formal charge will rest on the C. Since Ag is already quite positively charged, it might not want to bond with the COH fragment at all
In the dream it has the appearance of cream yellow powder

As for an analogous structure, while HCO$^+$ do exist, it is unknown if after it oxidises Ag to Ag$^+$, can form a stable species

While metal formyl does exists, silver formyls are unheard of. Some calculations is needed to check whether they are too unstable as electronic counts seemed to work fine
