Anyone know of a way to ensure bullion coin is really what the dealer says without having to do an assay yourself? Is there some organization that certifies the legitimacy of gold dealers? Or do you just have to go by the companies' general reputation and Better Business Bureau reputation? (A lot of the big name gold dealers have pretty bad BBB profiles! 
)

I'm a coin collector and I'm interested in buying commemorative Gold coins. Is it safe to buy Gold Coins from the BSP in the Philippines? I know that there are a lot of scams out there so I'm wondering if the Central Bank there is any different from anywhere else (pawn shop).
I heard that gold coins are sold there and I would like to know that they are real and not fake. Also do they sell other types of gold coins from US, Australia, Canada, China?

Is it clever to buy American Eagle Gold Coins? Are there really good benefits? You may ask if you will want to invest in such coins to start off with. And are they safe to put you money into? These are all valid questions, and things that one should understand before investing in these gold coins. After all, they cost a lot of money. Here are some ideas that may help you. Tip 1: Coupled with the safety that precious metals provide from the recent economic and political instability, most investors understand that it is a wise idea to invest in gold or silver. The value will always be there. Tip 2: A really good way of investing for the normal person to be invested with gold is to purchase gold coins. Gold coins have numerous benefits over large gold bullion bars. With the exception of the smaller gold bars (say, an ounce or less), gold bars come in big denominations that are somewhat illiquid. You have to sell the whole thing. You can keep most of your gold, by just selling one coin, rather than having to sell a bar which may be a large chunk of your gold investment. Tip 4: Gold coins are durable and last hundreds of years. Alloys (gold with another metal added) can keep for thousands of years. They don't tarnish and don't scratch easily. They're also easily stored because of their small size. Many investors prefer to hide their gold coins in their homes, stashed in some secret place, where nobody will get to them or find them because they are so small. One of the top methods to invest in gold for the normal person, is to put money into American Eagle Gold Coins.
