Just did a quick calc, and todays price is imputing a 4.8% return compounded from 1920. I do not see gold at $1500 way out of line. Its also...
Myself, I make the case on returns that they are investments and not collectibles. I am a CPA so if the IRS ever challenged me on that, (bar or...
Good idea. I have a question. Does anyone see the numismatic market moving up lately? This is what happened in the late 70's, as dealers got cash...
