Open a discount brokerage account.
Buy GLD.
Voila – gold at no markup.

Just try to sell a coin – even at ebay.
You will never get half if what you paid for it.
Gold coins – easy to buy – hard to sell.

You could try local coin dealers to see what type of mark up they have. Most carry bullion coins such as the American Eagle series.

I would stay away from gold coins and look at either buying shares of GDX or for a little more risk – GDXJ if you want to invest in gold.

apmex.com is a lot better then 15%. I have seen fractional down to 8$ over spot.
