If I'm going to buy gold. I'd rather have it in my possession or at least have easy access to it. There are plenty of dealers out there selling for small commission over spot (not a huge deal if you're in for the long haul).

The site looks legit but I don't know anyone that's used it. Definitely a convenient way to get into metals. You can also buy ETFs such as GLD or SLV for convenience or a short term play. GLD is bullion backed and designed to track the price of gold. SLV is silver backed and designed to track the price of silver.

No there's plenty of coin dealers around. You can buy anything from 1oz coins to 1oz coins to kilo gold bars (32 oz). With silver you could buy up to 1000 oz bars.

www.coloradogold.com is a site quite a few of my co-workers have used but I'd imagine if you check around you'll find a local dealer.

***I apologize I now see your location so I'd have no clue if you could find a local dealer. In that case maybe that site would be a good way to go. Just haven't used it.***
