Look in the local Yellow Pages under categories like “Gold”, “Jewelry” and “Rare Coins” for a local dealer.
Pay cash.

Provident Metals. Lower premiums than APMEX and very good service.

Wherever you buy check the prices against the current market prices at somewhere like http://www.monex.com/liveprices. If you are lucky you can buy form an individual at the spot price or a bit more. The commodity prices are much higher.

Also, where do people keep their gold if they have investment quantities, i.e. more than a shoebox of coins? What secure storage is there that can be trusted to not be running a fractional reserve scam with clients assets?

I second that - APMEX.com. I've made several purchases from them with no problem whatsoever. They provide reasonable mark-ups and occasional special pricing. Their shipping is fast.
Here are the shipping, handling and insurance costs:
•$12.95 (USD) for orders of $50.00 - $249.99 (USD)
•$19.95 (USD) for orders of $250.00 - $999.99 (USD)
•$24.95 (USD) for orders of $1000.00 - $24999.99 (USD)
•Free for orders of $25,000 (USD) and over

If you’ve got more than a shoebox of coins you should be able to afford a good safe and have it properly attached to a large piece of concrete.

"Also, where do people keep their gold if they have investment quantities, i.e. more than a shoebox of coins?

I bought some tungsten bars recently, but I became suspicious about them. So I drilled into one and checked.
It turns out that they were not pure tungsten; they were filled with gold.
Bummer.

What do you call investment quantities?
To: DuncanWaring
I didn’t mean to imply that I was looking for a storage alternative to a shoebox or a pvc pipe buried in the garden. Obviously a safe would be involved for moderate, in-home quantities. I was thinking more of what people with $1 million plus in tangible gold do for storage. It seems that off-site, secured vault service of some kind would be preferable but I hear so many stories of the gold not actually being there or being dilluted with tungsten.

Buy ‘junk’ gold coins.
They are easier to sell, in small denominations.
There is also some numismatic value, although that will deteriorate when TSHTF.
If discovered by the government - and purchases are tracked - they will not be likely to be confiscated as gold was under FDR, since they are collectibles and not hordes gold.
