Chart Timeframes. When looking at gold and silver price charts, the most important thing to keep in mind is what timeframe you are observing. Some common ranges are the 24 hour, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year timeframes. The Holdings Calculator permits you to calculate the current value of your gold and silver. Enter a number Amount in the left text field. Select Ounce, Gram or Kilogram for the weight. Select a Currency. NOTE: You must select a currency for gold first, even if you don't enter a value for gold holdings. The Scrap Gold Melt Value Calculator, available below, can figure the total gold value of scrap gold items, measured by the weight unit of your choice. The gold value is calculated based on the total amount of actual gold content, not including any other metals used if the gold is an alloy.
