Rush for Gold Spreads as Hoarding Returns
The Evening Standard reports a widespread rush to sell gold in Britain, with buyers door to door seeking hoards estimated at £10,000,000. A London dealer bought an Ascot Gold Cup, previously won in 1882, now valued at £7,000, not to be melted due to collector value. Coins from Ireland and two centuries old sovereigns feature in hoards, with wartime hoarding noted.
