I would like to start acquiring gold coins such as the Swiss 20 Francs or gold bars etc. but not something that the government could confiscate (ie us coins after 1933). What would be a good online website to buy gold from? Would gold bars be good as well? How about the effects of grading, certified or not, year, etc. affect the price (in particular - swiss franc).

I have recently started collecting coins. I have MS 70 silver eagles (gold eagles cost too much right now). One coin in particular is a 2009 "Early Release" MS 70, But givin the research I have been doing ANY imperfection will drop it down to at most MS 69. Also, the Early Release is crap and does nothing for the value. Even with my untrained eye I can see what look like flaws, 2 specifically because they are not marks on the identical (2004-2008) coins. I bought the coins from a different dealer (on line because there are no shops near by). So far the 2004-2007 that came from the same dealer are truly perfect, but my most recent coins say they are perfect ("certified" and all), but I don't believe so. What do I do?

Gold (pronounced /ˈɡoʊld/) is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from the Latin aurum, meaning shining dawn) and atomic number 79. It is a highly sought-after precious metal which, for many centuries, has been used as money, a store of value and in jewelry. I highly recommend buying the 1-Oz Gold Bullion Bar (instead of the 10-Oz). You will enjoy the look of one bar when you hold it in your hand. Trust me!
