<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4652394, member: 112&quot;]Steve - ya need to make note of what Jeff said there. This is why, these charts will show what the various gold coins have done in the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>First ya have generic gold, common dates</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/gengoldallgraph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s Mint State gold, better dates -</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/msgoldallgraph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s Proof gold - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/prgoldallgraph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Look at where you&#039;d be with 30 years, even 25. </p><p><br /></p><p>To get a better idea look at 10 year charts, same 3 - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/gengold10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/msgold10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/prgold10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Out of all of them Proof gold has done best of all and even it aint all blue skies and roses. For the most part, US coins as a whole have dropping steadily in value for 12 years now.
