I wanna buy some gold?

I would like to buy some gold - either bullion or coins. How do you do it without being ripped off. US Government only sells gold thru private dealers. Any ideas?

2. Go to a coin dealer or buy from the US Mint
3. One of the most reputable dealers is Blanchard and Company. THey deal in both buillion and rare coins. Many of the well-known financial talk shows use them as an advertiser. See them at this link: http://www.blanchardonline.com/ I know many people who have dealt with them and never had a complaint. As I understand it, they guarantee to buy back whatever you buy from them--at current prices plus a minor handling fee--but that's only fair.
