>>20238045Before 1933 it was around 20, then after they banned it, the price almost doubled, my mistake on the number. People still held throughout the entire time, hence the existence of pre 33 gold coins. Ironically the reason they banned it was because Hitlee was draining the fed of gold and silver simce the new currency he issued [of silver] was worth a lot more in arbitage than the US silver. Also in 1944, the bretton woods agreement pegged the us dollar to gold, by then it was aroind 40 bucks or so.
Ill rephrase my previous statement for accuracy
>crazy to think that around the 60s a $20 could get you about a half oz of gold>>20238058Despite all the price tamping, knowledge of real money has caused precious metals to float above inflation, but their purchasing power is definitely held back, historically much higher.
