You can get a pretty good idea of gold prices in the finance sections of the newspapers every day. (I used to work for an economist and had to record the gold price and currencies daily)
in Zacs' link you can adjust the time covered to days, months, years or all-time.
Long-term it's high. But so's everything, thanks to inflation. A chart that showed whether it was doing better or worse than the price of a loaf of bread might be more helpful.
Apologies, I didn't notice the time frames could be changed on the bullionbypost graph hence the long term chart to assist etc. (Its really no big deal is it).
