Thanks for the rapid responses and various options. I'm going to look into all the ones mentioned and try some of them out with smaller transactions and see which ones I like the most.
Being that I am new to btc I'm not looking to do any trading. I just want to buy some btc put in it cold storage and forget about it for a few years and see what happens.

kraken is the best for me, no hassled with id up to 10k per month very low fee, probably the lowest(not for trading but for withdraw), absolutely recommended
As a newbie I try virwox and it's not bad... or even buy on ebay!
I have used virwox initially when I bought bitcoin for the first time. Was the only exchange who accepted paypal and this make me felt sure about tho bought (was no need to give the data of my credit card to the buyers). And were not such opportunities which offered the bought of bitcoin. According to me is a good exchange but have high fees. Don't worth to buy there. For sure Coinbase will be better but maybe even cex.io named by me may be better. Have time that don't buy at virwox and they may have changed the fees but doing two steps to buy for sure will increase the "lost" money during the purchase.

Hello all,
I am new to the world of btc. I have been researching it on and off for the past few years, but in the past few months have made my research a daily event. I have even bought some of the physical coins created by Lealana and Casascius. While I am having fun collecting these coins I really want to get into actually buying bitcoins in it's real form and not just pretty cold storage coins.
Where do you recommend I do exchanges through? I am based in the USA and plan on buying and storing coins. I've heard mixed reviews on coinbase. Any other recommendations?
Thanks in advanced.

I don't live in USA but I am a user Coinbase. I use Coinbase as a wallet for all my bitcoins. Normally is good that not all your bitcoins be only in one wallet. But I told you that to make you understand my trust in this business. I am customer there for about three years and had even one time something to complain. To come back to your problem. The service wanted by you (buy/sell bitcoin) is yet not available in my country. So I cannot tell as for personal experience if this service is the best one or not. But reading all the above by me and adding what I have heard and see in the site about your question, must the best place to buy or sell bitcoins. I personally use CEX.io but I am not satisfied from the fees and the prices offered from this site in the bought of bitcoin (I only buy bitcoin). But have nothing to do. It is an obligatory one. Anyway you can try for yourself. Buy little amount in both and make the comparison. Maybe even in other exchanges given by someone else. My conviction is that Coinbase will be the best choice.
I would try either kraken or bitstamp. Both have a solid reputation and are serious players in the exchange world.
They both require ID verification for withdrawing larger amounts though, so if you have a problem with that, localbitcoins is probably your only option.

Also paxful.com. It's the alternative to localbitcoins

Theres alot of exchanges to choose from imo is to stay away from coinbase they are asking your personal infos which is risky..I am new to the world of btc.
