I didn’t realize $ 1424 was the all time high. For some odd reason, I thought it was almost $ 2,000.
Bad memory must be catching up to me.

You’ve probably seen $2000/oz so many times the number has imprinted itself in your mind. It, or numbers near it, are the inflation-adjusted high of the 1979 peak ($850) adjusted to current dollars. Using the government’s own (understated) inflation numbers, no less! If you use more realistic inflation numbers, you get more like $5000-$6000/oz. This, to some of us, makes it still a buy here at $1400.

You are correct. The all time high in real terms is around $2000. However, some people believe that the price of gold is “fixed” therefore the value of currency fluctuates to accommodate the “fixed” price.
