I'm not sure why this resource seems so fascinating to me. It's a site that will tell you the value of gold by various measures --- the official British price from 1257 to 1945, the official US price from 1786 to 2001, the London market price from 1718 to 2001, among others. All you have to do is select the price measure you want, plug in the year or span of years, and it will tell you.
A bit fascinating, I'd say.
