Years back (2005ish?) I calculated that if it was based on M1 it would be $32,000/oz, M3 over $100k.
So it ain't gonna happen like that.
But then, with a lot of delving I found that the USD hadn't been 100% backed by gold at M0 since at least 1911 - couldn't get back further than that.
Just to clarify - the USD (even before it was bastardised into the "Federal Reserve Note") has never been 100% backed by gold for over 100 years, which takes us back even before the inception of the Fed.
So the best you can hope for is a partially backed USD. Even if it is all there, which it ain't.
