you can get gold blanks for almost near spot
Won't have any collectors premium appreciating, and not cool looking. I'd personally recommend a coin that will appreciate like pandas.
WritingG- you can't just say I'll give you 10 bucks over spot. Take a look next time you "google" coins and bars premiums. Brand names and legal tender will likely have sizable premiums above spot as where generic stuff (ampex or providentmetals branded stuff) will have lower premiums.
