[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 59662, member: 112"]Basically you have two choices - you can go with the modern bullion gold coins that many nations currently offer.

The modern bullion coins of any nation are going to be priced much like the US AGE - there will be a percentage premium over the spot price for new issues and older issues will be priced based on mintages and availability. With older coins though the numismatic value comes into play. Prices for some dates will be barely over melt while others may be priced at multiples of melt value.
