Absolutely. Historic us gold coins routinely sell for barely over spot these days. Look at sd buillion, buillion exchanges, really any coin store. Apmex is always a bit pricy. Liberty coins on ebay is a huge and reputable vendor.
Search pre 33 on YouTube for some primers but basically 2.50 quarter eagles, 5$ liberty head half eagles, 10$ eagles liberty or my favorite Indian head eagle which is a bit more expensive. Anyways it's a bit of a steep learning curve.
I'd start with common date graded by ngc or pcgs coins that are not cleared. 0 to 15% above melt is easy to find these days.
