Demand for gold shows no sign of stopping

A good example of buyers eagerness for gold can be shown by the nj.com article by Joseph Bakes here:

Here's an exerpt:

"The rare coin auction saw a total of $225,000 in sales, quite a bit of it for gold. A 1796 $10 gold coin brought in $61,000. An 1889 $3 gold piece sold for $21,000.

"Some of the more expensive coins, including an 1881 $20 gold piece that was estimated at $20,000 to $25,000, did not sell. But Chris Imperato of New World Rarities, the auctioneer, said 85 percent of the inventory found a buyer."
