Beware of the gold for BTC sellers. I have used several and while most are OK, some do not ship anything!
buying some gold as an investment?
There are a number of merchants which sell gold for bitcoins:

Also there is a Gold futures contract available for speculation:

I would agree about holding some physical gold, however, there is a considerable mark up over spot price and when you sell, you will be offered less than spot price. Therefore you require quite an increase to make a profit. there are also issues with insurance and theft etc if holding physical gold in your home.
For a mid- to long-term retirement investment you can open a self directed Gold IRA. These guys [www.americanbullion.com] do it but others do too.
However, it is always a good idea to also have some accessible physical (gold & silver). Ultimately silver probably has the most growing potential, I would recommend 50:50 purchase in $ value depending how much you can invest.
There is also closed ETF like PHYS, CEF, PSLV which actually have real bullions. Stay clear of GLD and SLV that are paper based and bound for a disaster.
For a more diversified portfolio, if you purchase some TGLDX, you will also get some mining shares (~80%) exposure. Miners are well undervalued at the moment and this mutual fund has done remarkably well over the past 10+ years.
Again, do what you are comfortable with.
Good luck.

There are several sites that sell physical gold and mail it to you. I have ordered from a couple.
The first being http://coinabul.com
There are plenty of silver vendors on here. I havent seen any copper yet though!
Working on adding that right in! I sell a variety of bullion coins including copper pennies and have wanted to add bitcoins as a form of payment to the website. It's a process but hopefully a very useful one for people who invest in coins or even just like searching coins for numismatics.

What about silver and copper?

Maybe, long term I still think its bullish- mespecially if there is any more QE!
Just wait a bit if you want to buy gold. It should make a correction during october, maybe around 1740-1700.

Gold is constantly growing over last time, and probably will do so some time.
Because of this I want to ask, do somebody interesting in buying some gold as an investment?
If yes, at what price you will agree and at what price you can buy gold right now?
