A History
of Value
In the past, the U.S. dollar fared well because
it could be exchanged for gold upon
demand. But since moving away from the
Gold Standard, our American currency
has lost its intrinsic value and much of
its economic value. Gold, conversely, has
become exponentially more valuable over
time. Selling at $35 per ounce in 1971, it now
trades for over $1,500 per ounce…an increase
of more than 4,200%! 1
What has made gold such a valuable
commodity is its finite supply. The high
demand for gold has led to extensive mining,
to the point where National Geographic
estimates that “more than half of all
humanity’s gold has been extracted in
the past 50 years. Now the world’s richest
deposits are fast being depleted, and new
discoveries are rare…but there is no shortage
of miners, both big and small…” 2
Though, historically, gold and silver were
not particularly liquid investments, that
has changed in recent times. Today, the
preponderance of private exchanges
and liquidators make it easy to liquidate
precious metals, especially when they are
Priority Gold. Locking your price the same
day you call, we can manage swift, hassle-
free liquidations of your coins and bars for
