[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1052655, member: 112"]Do you understand what each of those graphs represents ? The one on bullion should be obvious - it's the spot price of gold, in dollars, at various dates over the years. The other 2 graphs represent a basket or group of gold coins and what each of those baskets cost back in 1970. Your eyes are as good as mine. Of course they don't start at 0, they aren't supposed to start at 0. They start at what the value of the basket of coins was 10 years ago. And apparently you miss the point of the graphs. What the graphs show you is the increase of each item for a specific period of time. And since all 3 graphs in each of the 2 groups start at exactly the same time and stop at the same time you can easily see which item - bullion, generic gold coins, or MS gold coins - was the better performer for that period of time. I would have thought that should be obvious.[/QUOTE]
