Yes you are right. I have never had any trouble with e-gold.
When you buy physical gold you buy it from a bullion dealer you buys it from
the mint. He can store it for you or you can take it home.
With e-gold you buy it from them, they buy it from the mint, they store it
for you or you can take it home!!

Puzzeling Baa Baa what is the difference?
I can take posession of the physical gold from e-gold almost as quick as
from a bullion dealer here in Cairns.
Whats the dif?
