I noticed an interesting phenomenon on Ebay. Looking up Krugerrands (after reference to them in a song), I found out about gold coins. Whatever country issues them, they all go for their weight in gold - even by auction. Perhaps Ebay is a great place to buy and sell gold (but maybe you could get discounts in bulk from a dealer). [I'm not advocating buying gold off Ebay, I was just interested].

  To be honest, all I can think of is weighing them, but they could be filled with lead! So I guess I haven't thought it through... However, the Ebay seller feedback count should be of some use. They could only sell a duff coin once (maybe twice) before being busted.
