I remember an ad that Colt had in the mid 1970’s, it went something like this: In 1873 you could by a new colt Peacemaker with a 20 dollar gold piece, today you still can.

Well a $20 gold piece, according to this site Gold Coin Values has $1386. worth of Gold in it today. (Of course any individual $20 Coin might be worth a lot more, due to rareity).

The price for a basic five and 1/2 inch Colt Single Action Army (the Peacemaker) is listed at around $1140. Here's a list of dealers selling them.

The more things change ...
