View's please on holding physical Gold?

I would welcome views on holding physical gold, I.e. coins etc.
I do realize that gold at the moment is at a very high price at the moment but I am looking into the possibility of holding some in the form of coins, Krugerrands etc.
Any help in where/how to purchase, storing the coins, possibly selling them in the future and helping with Inheritance Tax would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

    I've got a small number of coins, there are plenty of websites where you can buy these (Chards, Atkinson's, Bullion by Post etc). You can usually use a credit card. Mine are well hidden, only close family know in case something happens to me. There will always be some risk involved of course. I've never sold any but bear in mind the buy/sell spread is higher than most investments. If you really want to invest in gold hoping to make money (instead of liking shiny things) you'd probably be better with a gold EFT. Inheritance tax - of course gold coins are subject to this. If they can be found.
