[GNC] Price of gold

[Eric Coates]

OK. Now that I understand where GnuCash's gold price comes from I've 
come to the conclusion that what I called the "retail price" of gold is 
a mirage!

My gold is in the form of Sovereigns (each of about 7.5gms) and I guess 
that the only reliable way to get a value of it is by offering it for sale.

But I now know more than I did when I woke up this morning which can't 
be bad. Thank you

A note for Long:
It was your question about realised and unrealised losses that got me 
thinking (you used "gold" as an asset). I think, unless you actually 
have real gold, this thread is best ignored - except as an intellectual 
exercise. I do hold gold (in modest quantities) and that's how I'm 
thinking of this thread.
