Buy it through a stockbroker. Or invest in a gold fund or unit trust.
I wanted to buy a bar of gold and display it in my apartment, (how cool), but i couldn't find anyone who sold bars of gold!
Try Fidelity.
I'm going to tell you a little known secret. The absolute best way to invest in gold is a tiny gold band. It can cost under $100, but give you a lifetime of sex, love, housecleaning, clothes cleaning, cooking, etc. HA!
Buy 1 oz. Krugerrands from power seller on ebay. They shouldn't cost much more that £345 each. Put them in the bank and forget about them.
You can buy gold - from small amounts to 400 ounce bullion bars - from Baird & Co, Hatton Garden (over the counter for cash) or from ATS Bullion, who have an office on the first floor of a small block in the entrance road to the Savoy Hotel.
Baird are smelters of gold and have a website at www.goldline.co.uk with up-to-the-minute prices.
ATS are at www.atsbullion.com
Chinese pandas and gold maple leafs are pure gold 999 THe coins are easy to transport and store
You don't buy physical gold at all. IAU, DGL & other etfs hold physical gold for you at low cost & without the large mark-ups/downs of coins & bars. Foolish to own those as well as risky. Both of the etfs traded with great liquidity as stocks.
Open a brokerage account at TD Ameritrade and invest in the ETF IAU.
Buy shares in a gold miner, owning the gold directly wont get you dividends.
