The silver standard and the gold standard refers to the ways the United States backed their money. For every dollar in the economy, there was a dollars worth of gold to back it up in a reserve. People could go and exchange their money in for gold if they wanted to. The same thing applied to silver.
The gold standard broke down during the 1930s as countries engaged in competitive devaluations. The gold standard worked fairly well from the 1870s until the start of World War I. During the war the government financed military expenses by printing money resulting in inflation, and price levels were high everywhere by the end of the war. Then, in an effort to encourage exports and domestic employment, countries started regularly devaluing their currencies. People lost confidence in the system and started to demand gold for their currency putting pressure on countries' gold reserves, and forcing them to suspend gold convertibility and by World War II, the gold standard was over.
These are bullion coins sold for their gold content. The $50 denomination is purely artificial. Their actual value varies with the price of gold. As of mid-2014 standard issues retailing for about $1400 and deep-cameo proofs go for $50 more.
The gold standard is a monetary system in which the value of currency is determined by its relative exchange for a widely available and valuable commodity (traditionally gold). The concept was designed to limit the printing or issuance of currency without regard to the collateral (the amount of gold any government or country had). This is no longer used by any government, legal tender having become backed by the "full credit and faith" of the issuer, based on the goods and services produced that provide revenue. In the US, the gold standard was used from 1882 - 1933 and was preceded by first "gold notes" in 1865. Going back to the gold system would have some benefits in reducing public debt and deficits, but would be nearly impossible given the amount of unsecured debt in the US and worldwide.
