It's important to understand that gold and silver and commodities traded daily on the international market. Prices for these commodities are primarily decided based on the political and economic world climate. For thousands of years, silver and gold have been the foundation of the world economy.

Even as early as the New World exploration by Spain, gold and silver coins were minted. During these times gold was valued at approximately $20 an ounce. From the 1800's to the early 1930's, gold then rose to approximately $35 per ounce. Many gold coins were melted after former United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt prevented people from owning such coins. Once it became legal again in the mid-1970's to own gold, its price rapidly increased to approximately $200 an ounce. The price ten reached nearly $800 an ounce in 1980. Currently, gold trades for over $1,000 per ounce.

Today, gold collectors are able to buy gold bars, coins and silver. It's ideal to purchase from a trusted dealer and pay with cash. There are several reputable dealers for gold and silver internationally so finding one should be easy. Ask for referrals from friends or colleagues who may currently collect gold coins or bullion. In addition to these sources, you may be able to find a dealer by simply looking in the phone book or visiting a pawnshop in your neighborhood.
