The safest way to buy physical gold is directly from a mint like the US or Canadian mint (obviously assuming you trust the government/mint in question).

The next best is to use a trusted dealer and buy the mint products that have verifiable serial numbers. For example:

Canadian Mint 1oz bar, at a small mark-up over the price of gold. Comes sealed and has a serial number.

Now that is an actually reasonable markup. I guess my only concern there would be shipping, which can be insured but gets a bit pricey when you're insuring $1,200. Thanks for the link!
