There is no arguing the fact that owning gold coins is a great way to invest money these days.  But there is the fact that possessing the coins can be problematic.  Alternatives exist to allow ownership while someone else holds the coin.  Companies like this are usually termed holding companies.  Research a potential holding company thoroughly.  Make sure they’re not taking the money and running.  Look into who’s insuring and auditing the company.  If a holding company is using an insurer such as Lloyd’s of London, it’s a sign that they’re on the up and up.  This is a sensible way to own gold coins without worrying about where they’re going to be stored.
