Precious Gold
|
|
|
Gold is the king of precious metals. It is believed that the first gold was found by man after forest fires melted it out of veins at the surface of the earth. The first gold was made into gold
jewelry, and around 650 B.C gold coins appeared. The mythical King Midas had the golden touch because he idealized the ancients' lust for precious gold. Folks love to collect ancient gold coins, medieval gold
coins and modern gold coins as an historic bridge between the past and the future.
