Intraday all-time high price of gold

[Recyclersteve]

I was speaking with a guy at a nameless coin shop and we were talking about the all-time high price of gold. Back on 9/6/11 before domestic markets opened it was slightly above $1,920 an ounce. But he insisted that it actually went above $2,400/oz. that day. I think he might have been thinking about St. Gaudens double Eagles, which seemed to have hit that price at that time. Does anyone else have any recollection about this? Also, if you have any links to further document what you are saying, that would be great.

http://www.kitco.com/charts/historicalgold.html good charts there, and no gold never hit 2400. To my recollection it was slightly under 2000 never went over.

Like many of the people here can attest.... it never hit over $2000. We actually had a contest to see who could name the date for it to hit $3k but it never did.

Never remembering it crossing $2k

Thanks guys. I was pretty certain that I was right, but this dealer was pretty insistent that it was over $2,400. I should have asked him to prove it....
