Can you beat this cost basis for generic gold coins??

Talked with a coin weenie friend at the golf course the other day. Said he was selling some generic gold coins.
Asked what his average cost was - said he bought them early in the 1970's, average cost basis about $38 bucks!
No wonder I'm still doing piece work and he's retired.

Of course, about 3 years later gold skyrocketed to over $800 an ounce.
Placed in the right stocks he might be even better off, but that may also have been a crapshoot
