This article below describes a process on how to buy and take physical delivery through the GLD. The minimum transaction amount is 10,000 oz (13million).

It seems that GLD is the last place to sack before the whole paper game (unallocated within the GLD) come crashing down. http://fofoa.blogspot.com/2011/01/who-is-draining-gld.html Slam
