ETFs have the advantage of being convenient and liquid, but some people prefer to have possession of the gold itself.
You can buy gold bullion coins from coin and jewelry dealers in your town. They tend to be a little expensive, 8%-10% over spot.
You can also buy gold bullion coins online, and they are generally cheaper. Do not buy collectible coins -- only bullion coins. They generally cost about 5% over spot. Don't buy from Gold Line -- they will try to rip you off. Buy from a reputable dealer. I recommend Euro Pacific Precious Metals.
