I cannot help you there because profit is nowhere on my radar. The best I can say is try both and see which one gives you better success.

Possible, but difficult, if you have many years experience in the field. You would probably do much better investing in mutual funds.

From what I've heard, it can work, if you invest in something like high grade classic key dates, and are willing to hold them for decades.

Even then you are lucky if you manage to beat the inflation rate.

I've NEVER heard of that. The only gold coins found in rolls are those fake, seeded rolls on ebay.

It HAS happened but it is extremely rare. You'd probably have better luck playing the lottery.

I was always told when I started, to buy fewer coins, but the best graded examples I could afford...did I go with that ? why, no way......I'm heading more that way,now, but it sure was fun buying all those "bargains" :)
