Where to find historic prices for gold?

[heinz256]

I've been trying to look for the historical prices for gold, silver, and crude oil but haven't had any luck. I'm looking for the numbers from beginning of January to end of Feb. I've only found charts but not actual numbers, or they dont go back that far. Anyone know where I can find this data? Its for a school project btw.

Look for the green "Last" number. That's the closing number, so on Jan.3 it closed at 1415.60. Change the date to any day that you need it.

Pegging to the US cotton dollar? How far back do you want to go? a century or a few millenia. You can only go back about one century on cotton.

Silver and Gold have both been around longer than fiat. The furthest I would chart back to would be about 1800's when silver and gold were both US currencies before paper was in use. And then you really have to disregard > 1933 when the US made it illegal to own more than $100 worth of gold.

If you want to peg to silver somewhere around 1960's, coinflation.com is a good daily indicator of what is happening to the US cotton dollar in comparison to the US silver dollar.
