If you know you will only be dealing with dealers, bars from well-known sources (like Credit Suisse) are probably OK. However, if you'd like to be able to sell to individuals, the problem with bars is that their validity and the reliability of their gold content isn't as well accepted by the market as with coins. I know I personally would never buy a bar from an individual. If in doubt, ask around. Call a few dealers and ask them about their interest in buying bars, etc.
