Gold in pounds, not dollars.
For UK buyers, the gold price in sterling reflects the world gold market and the strength of the pound together. That is why it can differ from the returns you see quoted in US dollars.
Try the different lengths above. A change in the start date shows why timing matters, and why a long view should include the years when the price fell.
From the price to the product.
Spot is a useful marker, but you buy individual coins and bars. Premiums, dealing spreads, delivery, any storage you arrange and other costs all change your real result.
Graded and collectable coins can behave differently from the gold price, because condition, rarity and collector demand count too. This illustration does not model any specific coin or Roman Brothers product.
