Wondering about how to buy gold or buy silver? Wondering even if you should?

A few years ago, I had more than enough free time than I needed or wanted. I had just left grad school and didn't want to go back to teaching. While looking for different opportunities and jobs, I got sidetracked with the 2008 election and the financial meltdown.

Though I had been antagonistic to Ron Paul, he, along with Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, and Marc Faber made a lot of sense regarding the state of the economy. I started reading about Austrian economics and sound money.

The more I read their books and articles or listened to their interviews and lectures, the more concerned I became about the strength of the dollar. They pointed to gold and silver as true money compared to fiat currency and recommended protecting one's wealth by buying silver or gold.

They convinced me, but I didn't know how to buy gold or silver or where to buy. There was so much conflicting advice.

Which should I buy? Gold or silver, bullion coins or numismatics, coins, bars, or rounds?

Where to buy? Coin stores, online gold and silver dealers, eBay.

eBay? Is that even possible?

Which dealers were reputable?

What scams to look out for?

Where to store gold and silver? Safety deposit boxes, gold and silver storage vaults, take personal delivery or store domestically or overseas?
