Where to buy gold bullion?

Yarcofin asked:

I live in a fair sized city in Ontario, Canada… about 70,000 people. Would there be a store in my city that sells gold? I don’t want to buy it online. What kind of store am I looking for? Coin dealerships or pawn shops maybe? You can’t get it at the bank can you? Or do they only sell it directly in larger cities like Toronto?

I don’t want collector’s coins, I just want pure gold as close to market value as possible. (I know there is going to be a vendor markup.)

I already own a gold ETF but I would like to own a little bit of physical gold.

Also anything I should look for to avoid being ripped off?
Would buying an equal $ amount of silver be as good a choice as buying gold? It’s certainly cheaper so I could buy a lot more of it.

    any gold imported will incur duty tax
    as a friend found out buying silver on the internet and having it shipped to uk ~uk hmcustoms+excise slapped import tax on it and it worked out to cost more than if he had just purchased it in the uk from the start

    If you are planning to buy the Canadian Maple leaf coin , try to get the one that four 9s on it – versus three 9s. Four 9s mean 99.99% pure and three means 99.90 percent pure, sells much more easily, especially when you need to sell in a hurry to a pawn shop…Also, sealed would be really nice versus an open one in a small plastic ziplock bag.

    Coin dealers and some jewellers sell, coins and wafers of gold or silver.

    I like to have my one only Maple Leaf Gold coin, as I regard it as “A peice of the soul of the earth”

    It is not for investment, it is to hold for pleasure, it is one ounce of 99.99 gold, face value of coin is 50 Dollars, will cost you about $860.

    For investment I like gold stocks through precious metals mutual fund (no load, from a bank)
    I have $700,000 of these.
