Tips & Warnings
Keep in mind that gold is a commodity. The larger the amount of 0.9999 fine gold you can afford to buy, the smaller the sales premium (dealer markup). The price of gold fluctuates on a daily basis. You may wish to wait for a slight decrease in prices before purchasing yours.
If you do not have one already, consider renting a safety deposit box as a secure place to store your gold bars.
