I have read that if you are considering buying gold for investment, you should look into pre 1933 gold coins. Since these coins are gold, they are atleast worth the spot price. In addition to containing gold, these coins also have a numismatic value to them.
If you are buying gold, try to buy it in the early afternoon. If you are buying at night, coin dealers will sometimes raise their normal premium. The reason for this is pure speculation on the next days gold prices.
Shop around for the best price, some coin shops have lower premiums than others.
Been buying gold coins since I gave up on other old US coins years ago..... Until I started to see fake (replica) gold coins hit the market on ebay.... Now I don't know where to go.....For instance...bought a few 1882 Italian lire, and stopped when I saw replicas being sold on the same page.....Stomach juices hit me hard....No solution to this unless you start melting down your gold.....
