Nice pieces, but aren't their historical value higher then the value of their gold content?

Yes but same principle applies to old gold sovereigns for example that are over a hundred years old but only worth bullion values.


Do you even listen to yourself?  Intrinsic value is based on the needs of society....  
How do you call the needs of a society "intrinsic" to a piece of gold?  
And then you call me confused...

I thought he made that clear - industrial uses.  There are also cultural uses such as wedding rings and other jewellery, dentistry etc.
Jezus people.  I realize that gold has utility.  I know that you can use it for jewellery, electronics etc. .
I was talking talking about the bullshit concept of "intrinsic value", which is right out there with phlogiston.
At this point I feel like I am highjacking the thread though, so I'll quit talking about it (for now Grin).
