You can definitely buy gold coins. I have one in my desk drawer right now, even.

I wonder how much that is marked up, however. Compared to just buying bare gold, I mean.

Obviously even bare gold would have a markup, but probably not as much as coins.

Depends on the weight of the coin, but 1+ oz. can be as low as 1% above spot (bare gold price), where 1/20 oz. can be as high as 10% above spot. So 1-10% markup for most purposes
