I assume you mean a few thousand dollars. Anything less would be fruitless. Talk to your bank
to begin and decide whether you want to invest in gold stocks, or bullion.

Fantastic book on gold/silver investing. Definitely a good investment at the moment, I'm sure your grandmother would be proud.
If you are referring to buying the actual metal, here are a couple options.
Peter Schiff's company handles gold, but there is a minimum purchase amount (I think $10,000)

For smaller amounts, MTM is a good option

You are going to have to talk to them on the phone to get price quotes. Payment is often done by depositing cash into their bank account (like a local Chase branch). Then they ship your your coins or bars. Coins tend to be a bit more expensive due to the minting of them.
A good price tends to be the daily strike price plus 2%. That is about the lowest I've come across.
If you want the investment of gold but don't want to handle the physical metal, you can buy an ETF like GLD (or for silver, SLV).
Want to buy a handful of gold coins for the grandchildren? Fine.
Want to buy gold bars because the world economies are going to collapse? Bad idea.
If the end is coming buy guns, ammo, MREs, bottled water and first aid medicine. A smart survivalist will have some gold and silver coins to use as barter for needed things. All the other items in the inventory are TOO VALUABLE to trade.
Why buy gold? Have you been influenced by the companies advertising for people to own gold? Think about it. Why would a company that owns a ton of gold, advertising gold will probably go up in value, want to sell some of their gold?? Why not hold on to the gold they have and get a real job to buy even more gold.
Don't buy gold for an investment. Bad choice.
Don't do it. Gold is not a good investment. It seems like a good investment because it is simple. Put your money into a bank instead of gold.
