imf solution for cyprus just announced, page-6

depends which capital city your in, best place to start is the yellow pages under gold dealers/coin dealers.
Just dont pay too much over the spot price, some dealers sells coins for $100 over spot, thats a rip off, bars are usually cheaper than coins. ebay is good, but always go for ones that have at least 99% positive feedback.
start off small, buy a few gold sovereigns that weigh about 7.8grams, than buy some 1oz ones, and make sure its a LT investment, if gold drops to $1200 in a few months, dont blame anyone here, in 1977 gold dropped 50% but a few yrs lates went up x4 in value. so buy a little every month, and always think long term.
