I ended up buying them through them in Fort Myers. Thanks for the info…
Jeff, you read it wrong. Gold bullion/coins etc will be banned from being sold to the public.,
This isn’t the 1930’s
Remember when gold hit $800, people said the same thing; I bought a dozen eagles from a neighbor and 6 krugerrands from a Naples home inspector.I like eagles, maple leafs but if you really worry buy pandas.
I remember the first half bag of silver junk quarters I bought for $4,200, my wife thought I was nuts. Now when I buy silver, she just smiles.
I like gold, I like silver, I like guns and I like stocks but most of all I like old corvettes. Diversify and relax, Obama should be gone soon enough.
Just this old man’s view 
For all the deftly gold aficionados, welcome to the “Johnny-come-lately” party. The hefty austerity measures and regulatory belt tightening throughout the general populace lacks to suggest that the good ol days are back with vengeance, are the financial institutions enticing yet anyone who presents a heartbeat? No free money, no easy loans, no free lunch, no stash for the metal. Hence, where’s the beef?
Dollar cost averaging makes sense in markets, as long as the investment is in instruments that produces higher return than CPI. Perhaps re-balancing portfolio on a daily basis may become in vogue, as it has done wonders, throughout for the institutional fund management.
The way it is explained is that OTC trading of gold will be halted. You can still purchase tangible gold.
