Gold's undeniable presence in the Gold Bar  jewelry and luxury market has surely helped increase its value. However, none of this can fully explain just how valuable gold has become in the last quarter of a century. From the beginning of the 20th century until around 1980, the value of gold hovered at around $25.00 per ounce. From the early 80's up until present, gold's value has skyrocketed to over $1,000 per ounce. Few other investment options can show this type of track record. Put simply, gold has shown a marked increase in value of almost 4000%. It has more than doubled in the last three years alone. https://www.a1mint.com/product-category/gold/gold-bars/
