Harvey, <<Anyone have a link to buying gold on the web?>>
Yes, as I recently asked that question.
Below I copied the replies that contain two easy to visit web sites, and gold silver or platinum proof collector coins from US Mint.
I'am not the one for advice here, but ask what it means to buy paper gold verses the physical stored off your site or delivered to you site.
As of yet I have not bought any above precious metals, but if I do I will take physical delivery of them in the form of simple "bars" stamped only with 99.44% pure and hopefully none float. That will be my hedge for when either the moon falls from the sky or one of those many many small and medium size nuke bombs that the inventory says is in Building 4A, but not, does appear up in the sky above NY City & Boston & ....
The coins with nice pictures I will buy one of each as good luck charms and gifts to give.
The only requirement I have with the coins is that they cost the same as the bar and represent a simple store of value, not an investment like in art.
Those proof collector coins I would not buy in the hope that later they increase in value above the store of value.
Didn't realize that there are platinum coins/bars that you can buy. If so, what about Rodium and palladium ?
GOLD - $280 SILVER - $5 PLATINUM - $490 PALLADIUM - $570 RHODIUM - $1,650
