For small-scale gold investors or those looking for the solace of a tangible investment, gold coins and bars can be purchased in a variety of sizes through government mints or local and online coin dealers. Mark-ups on these precious pieces vary, but some investors consider the premiums a small price to pay for the convenience and portability of bullion coins. Popular single-ounce coins include the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf and South African Krugerrand. Numismatic coins or collectibles are another type of gold coin, but unlike bullion, which is worth roughly as much as its pure gold content, numismatic coins are priced based on their collection value.
