Rare Coin Wholesalers (RCW) announced the release of their latest article, "Gold Prices and Inflation Fears." In the article, Dr. Scott Sumner, economist and writer for RCW, claims that the internet is full of commentators predicting high inflation, and they are using that argument to sell gold. He explains that since July 2008 inflation has averaged only about 1.2%, the lowest rate over any similar period since the mid-1950s.
