Step 1
LOCATE RELIABLE SOURCES
It is important to know where to buy gold, because some sources can be more reliable than others. Where you buy gold will effect how much money you will spend. Gold has a fluctuating base price, called the spot price. When shopping around for gold, it is important to price your gold against the spot price. You will want two things when shopping for gold online; purity of your gold, and price over spot.

Step 2
PURITY OF GOLD
When you are buying gold coins, or bullion, you will want to make sure that the gold is 99.99% pure. The gold dealer should make this well known on their website and in writing. Buying gold and silver in bars instead of coins will give you more gold for your money. The actual printing of the coin adds significantly to the price over spot the gold will be. Always be sure of he purity of your gold before buying gold online. -
Step 3
A SOUND INVESTMENT
Precious metals are the most sound investment that you could make. If all other forms of paper currency crash, gold and silver will still hold their value. It is so valuable that some people even make a living buying gold scrap and melting it down into gold bars or gold coins. Although this can be very profitable, it can very a very dangerous and time consuming process. If you are serious about finding the best way to buy gold, spend some time on informational websites about gold that are not for profit.
