Gold Bullion Bars

How to buy gold for investment purposes in the US?

Is it better to buy bullion bars or gold coins? Can I buy from a reputable bank or the government instead of from a private dealer?

Central Fund of Canada (listed on the American Stock Exchange, symbol is CEF) holds nothing but gold & silver bullion so you get exposure to the phnysical element, and you don’t have to worry about storage/delivery/insurance.
One poster on another web site said he was told to only buy bars from Englehard and Johnson Matthey. They are the most recognized brokers. Other web sites: www.bulliondirect.com www.tulving.com www.kitgo.com
www.gold-eagle.com (this is not a recommendation for any of these sites, I do not use them, nor do I buy gold, I pan for it while on vacation.)
