[QUOTE="spazmodic, post: 2011624, member: 55417"]The following chart I saw last year answered the question for me. The relative purchasing power of PM's remains unchanged over a long period of time. For personal reasons, I want to leave my 12 year old daughter something in addition to the eroding value of Dollars, Pounds and Euro's. (Yes I'm British and I have some of all three). In 1933 Gold was worth $20.67 per ounce ( [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102[/url] ) In 1933 Silver was worth $1.2929 per ounce ( [url]http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=14741[/url] ) Since 1933 the dollar's purchasing power has fallen 94% Silver may still only be worth $17 ounce, but It's preserved its value much more than fiat currency. So I'm happy to keep buying silver and leave my 12 year old shiny pretty silver.[ATTACH=full]362616[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
