Default 2 boxes problem

You have 2 boxes with 2 pigeonholes each. Box A has 1 gold coin in each pigeonhole. Box B has 1 silver coin in one pigeonhole and 1 gold coin in the other. Now, you are blindfolded and chose a box and open a pigeonhole to find a gold coin. What are the chances that the other pigeonhole of the same box contains the silver coin? And what are the chances that the other pigeonhole of the same box contains another gold coin?

Thanks for your answer.
