Isn’t it against the law to actually own gold bars? Say I had $10,000 to buy gold with, could I actually get my hands on the metal?
of course it’s not illegal to own gold. they did ban it for a period in the 30s to enable the new paper to take hold, which was unconstitutional
Mark, It is OK for you to own gold bars!
When I was younger, I used to buy Silver bars and hide them under the bed. That worked out just fine until one day my wife complained that it was difficult to dust under the bed. So....
I put a bunch of them under the front seat of the pickup and drove down to the place where I purchased them. In a few minutes I had a fist full of $100 bills and returned home. That's when I decided to clear out everything under the bed and place them under the dog house where the German Shepherds sleep.
You need to trot down to a good clean Coin Store and spend some time talking to the owner. He can tell you what is available and the price. You have to make the decisions about what you can afford and when you can purchase it.
