Where can I go to take physical delivery of my gold coins? I need an inflation hedge and this seems as good as any...
The market lately has had trouble delivering quantities like that even with the large spreads you see now from most coin dealers. Just look in the yellow pages for the biggest coin dealer in your city. If you are buying online, check out Tulving or ASI - they tend to have better availability and lower prices. However, the best thing to do, by far, is just take delivery of a Comex contract. This requires that you have a futures account which will otherwise take a few weeks to open. Before opening the account with a futures broker, explain what you plan to do and be sure they can walk you through the process. Many/most brokers will try to discourage you from taking delivery but just be determined and you can get it done.
