    Easiest way is GLD and SLV traded on the stock exchanges. They represent ownership in gold and silver.

    Open a brokerage account and buy the ETFs that track gold and silver such as GLD and SLV in the US. There are similar ones in Europe as well - check etfsecurities.com.

    as a small investor you could just buy kruger rands or silver dollars.

    believe me, a real precious metals dealer will not give you the car dealer treatment; in fact, quite the opposite. they’ll want to deal with you as little as possible, because they’re sitting around all day watching their screens and keeping up-to-the-minute track of prices.

    you are their perfect customer if you have the money and know exactly what you want.

    don’t get me wrong, the dealer i go to is very helpful, but has no pressure to make a sale or push one product over another.
