I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, so if the mods think there's a better place please feel free to move it. I am going to start buying up more precious metals as one way to diversify my investments and I have no idea where to start. I was hoping the good folks here could point me in the right direction. Where is the best place to buy this stuff, at a physical dealer, or online? Also does it make a difference what you get coins, rounds, bars as far as value and liquidity goes? Does the design or brand on the bar/round make a difference? Any help or resources that aren't also trying to sell me gold at the same time are much appreciated, thanks!
