The price of gold was controlled by governments for many decades up till the time of the Great Depression. In the US, the price was $19.39 per troy ounce almost every year from 1792 to 1833, including 1830. The only exceptions were the years 1814-1817 when its price was allowed to increase to as much as $22.16 per troy ounce.
Keep in mind, though, that a dollar in 1830 bought much more than a dollar in the 21st century. Because so much has changed in 2 centuries it's almost impossible to make a direct comparison, but using a basket of different measures, a dollar in 1830 would today buy very roughly the equivalent of:
- $30 of common household goods
- $215 of unskilled labor
- $515 of skilled labor
