Gold is a material rich with history for collectors, and it's as relevant as ever today to investors and speculators given the current financial uncertainty about other assets such as national currencies.

From ancient amulets to the most modern designs, gold has been used in coins, watches, jewelry, personal accessories such as pens and lighters, home furnishings, you name it. And the quest for gold - such as the California Gold Rush in 1849 - has shaped societies and created rich troves of historical (and collectible) material.
