    There is a gold dealer located next to the Savoy hotel in the Strand, London, that sells gold coins and bullion including Krugerrands - see http://www.atsbullion.com/

    Use of that clever little tool above called "Search" and entering the words, "Gold coins" revealed this,

    do you have to buy and sell like shares or could I buy say a 100g bar and just keep it for 10 years and expect growth?

    You can buy physical gold (e.g. 100g bar) or buy gold ETFs which are effectively "shares" that track the gold price. Neither offer any guarantee of growth. Many people are attracted to gold these days as a hedge against economic meltdown. Such people will want to buy physical gold.

    Note that over time, you will lose a little money on gold ETFs as they charge a small fee for storage / insurance. AFAIK they do this by reducing the amount of gold that a share represents every quarter.

    I guess you have the same problem if you own it in physical form as it would probably need to be insured separately on your household insurance.

    And as I previously suggested (in your last thread) you can buy krugers on ebay that occasionally undercut the going rate at goldline. atsbullion are more expensive than goldline (Bairds). Buy from an ebay seller with good feedback- makes sense!

    I disagree that gold is too expensive...it will continue to rise IMO, and if I'm wrong you can all buy me a drink cos I'll be skint!:D

    I'd only buy krugerrands for "fun", much easier to use an ETF or spread bet on the spot to get exposure.

    That is, of course, if you're nuts enough to buy into gold!

    Where's that bullion song gone...
    Mmmm, credit crunch. Tasty.
