What is the best way to trade gold certificates?

Question by evw2k: What is the best way to trade gold certificates?
I am thinking about trading precious metals, and I was wondering what the easiest way to do it would be without having to get physical gold. I heard about gold certificates, and was wondering if they have the equivalent for silver? What is the easiest way to buy these, do they have comission fees, and how liquid is the market for them? I live in the US.

Also, last time I posted I learned that Scottrade is an option, any others?
