From 2010 and GoldCore
''Between July 1999 and March 2002, Gordon Brown sold 415 tonnes of
gold at an average price of $276 per ounce (less than £200/oz). Since
Brown's sale, gold has rallied strongly for nine consecutive years,
significantly outperforming the majority of other asset classes over the
past decade. Today, gold is trading at over $1,200/oz and £840/oz (or
€985/oz), considerably more than a three-fold increase in price in
dollars, sterling and the beleaguered euro.
More significantly, the gold sold is worth some £6.6 billion more
than the £2.2bn that the Treasury received over the period of the sale.''
