<prompt> Human: Photo of the gold bar I have no idea if the serial number or seal I covered up are secure, so my apologies if this is a terrible photoI looked around for any advice about selling gold and APMEX, local coin collectors, and rpmsforsale were all recommended. Cash for gold stores were universally panned. However, since Im interested in eventually throwing this money into an index fund maybe even a gold ETF I was wondering if theres an easier way to liquidate this directly with a bank. Any help is really appreciated since Ive never held more than a single silver dollar in my hand before. Thanks!Edit: wow this blew up! Thanks yall. To clarify a few things: yes my grandparents are Chinese, but no they dont care about the gold bar remaining physically gold. Theyre much more interested in the grandkid becoming a doctor, so if reinvesting the gold bar helps that, theyre fully on board :  <response>: Ive purchased quite a bit from AMPEX before and always found them reputable. Also JM Bullion and Provident Metals are another to reputable places Ive dealt with. I cant see a back taking it and putting money into an account for you though. Im pretty confident you are going to have to sell it to convert it.
