Re: [DL] Precious Metal Value...

[Brom Clancy <spleen23@webtrolls.com>]

Found a nice page for priceing information at 

http://www.drquinnmd.com/drquinn/bank.html

Acording to that $1 of todays money is equel to $15.19 of 1878 money

With some quick and dirty math on todays prices I got.

Gold $250 a pound
Silver $4 a pound
Platinum $475 a pound (not sure if most would recongnize it)

That's for refined gold, but i figure during wartime metal would be more valued then paper so the price might be the same with refined a bit higher.
