JG : My pleasure. No, there is no such a chart. The US dollar is the US dollar, so the gold price in dollars is just that. What you are looking for are charts of the gold price in all the other currencies . No problem --- just look at them. The principal ones are the yen, dmark, ffranc, lire, sterling and swiss franc. Eventually, the yen and the euro will be the main two. You might be interested that I do, for myself, an average, "fruit-salad" chart of the gold price in six different currencies. I think it's that kind of thing you are looking for. Unfortunately it's in Basic so I can't copy the graphs to show you.

Do you know where I can find charts on the net that plot the price of gold in terms of the U.S. dollar index And does anyone know a good place to see the price of gold or silver coins - I'm interested in watching the premiums. About 1979, when silver peaked at $50/oz, the refiners were only paying $40/oz for silver bags, since they had already had a 1 year backlog of coins to melt, I was told. I expect, particularly with silver, to see a substantial premium of coins over bars, as the Y2k fear spreads. Might be the basis of a good spread in that. If the demand is mainly for coins, how much can that pull up PM prices, all other factors remaining the same?
