That's why:

#1. You never buy gold bars (especially if they are not in their original vacuum sealed casing). You should only buy gold coins.

#2. You never buy gold products from sketchy websites, street dealers, or Ebay sellers. You should only buy gold products from highly rated, BBB approved online retailers, that get their products directly from the mints, or from licensed businesses that can prove the gold is real right in front of you.

imo, the point of gold/silver is to retain wealth in the event of monetary uncertainty.

Dollar eats shit = everyone's dollar 'wealth' disappears overnight. A new currency will emerge as the top used and like all other currencies will have some exchange amount for things that humans have considered precious for thousands of years: Gold and silver.

If you hold gold you mitigate some of the dollar wealth lost, and gain wealth in the sense that not everyone had a stable store of wealth (besides land/property) ready to transfer to the new currency. Technically speaking the wealth you are gaining is related to the dollar-wealth that was lost by millions of people world-wide.
