Not as much as I would have thought. Based on an inflation calculator, $2.50 in 1910 is worth $85 today

But in gold bullion value, it is worth around $350 - $360, right?

Sure, to us in 2025. But to the 1910 crowd when gold was at $20 per ounce, it was like losing $85. Simply based on inflation.

Marve - give it 6 months. Then inflation might take it up to a Bitcoin
