I bought a one ounce gold eagle, BU, and I paid $1285. Gold was at $1185 when I bought it Thursday morning. Is this a normal premium for these coins? Wow, it's hard to make any money on bullion with such a huge premium.

That is too high of a premium.

$50 premium is what I'd expect to pay.

I bought this coin from a brick and mortar coin shop. I will start doing the majority of my business online. It makes sense, at least to me, that a brick and mortar shop would naturally need a bigger premium to cover their overhead.

Yes, they need a bigger premium but if you are able to get to know the owner then maybe you can cut a better deal. That being said buying physical gold or silver is not necessarily about making a quick profit - especially over the past few years. Think of it more as a hedge against inflation or currency collapse.
