I would not buy gold.
It is being counterfeited like crazy and even experts don't know the difference sometimes.

So tell us, stout yeoman, how one would counterfeit gold, which is an element on the periodic table?

Gray Matter: How To Make Cheap Fake Gold
Cast your own bogus bullion.

BY THEODORE GRAY | PUBLISHED JAN 28, 2013 8:00 PM

I’ve been a fake-gold fan ever since author Damien Lewis wrote me into his 2007 spy thriller, Cobra Gold. My supposed experience making fake gold was pure fiction, yet I’m still treated as a source on the matter. I decided it’s time to call my own bluff and make some real bogus bullion.

Instead of a 10-ounce ingot, I cast a two-kilogram (4.4-pound) fake the size of a Twinkie cake. A Twinkie heavier than four pounds? Yes, gold is dense, much denser even than lead. Good forgeries must have the right weight, and there is only one element as dense as gold that’s neither radioactive nor expensive. That’s tungsten, which can cost less than $50 a pound.

Pouring Alloy

Molten lead-antimony alloy is poured around a tungsten core inside a graphite mold.
To fabricate a convincing fake, crooks could pour molten gold around a tungsten core. The bar would have a near-perfect weight, and drilling shallow holes would reveal nothing but real gold. A two-kilogram bar made this way would cost about $15,000 and be “worth” about $110,000. Since I have to work within PopSci‘s modest budget, and I’m not a criminal, I settled for a fake costing about $200 in materials.

Tungsten Rod

A rod (later removed) suspends the tungsten core to ensure a full coating of lead-antimony.
I encased a tungsten core in a lead-antimony alloy, which is roughly as hard as gold. That way it feels and sounds right if touched and knocked. I then covered the alloy with genuine gold leaf to give my bar its signature color and luster.

Gold Leaf

Covering the bar with gold leaf—about 4 millionths of an inch thick—lends it the correct color.
My fake wouldn’t fool anyone for very long (a fingernail can scratch off the gold leaf), but it looks and feels remarkable, even next to my real 3.5-ounce solid-gold ingot. Or at least I think that one’s real.

Then central banks everywhere are fucked because they all have fake gold in the stockpiles.

Jesus Christ, you people are looking for Robin Hoods in all the wrong places.

When once can't afford the real deal nor can make it through trading, - what else he has left.

Fake it till you make it.

Zimbabue gold rush still sounds funny tho.
