Howdy diverdon-ga,
A straight forward process, it seems. The Open Directory "Gold Coins"
listing has several sites that should meet your needs.
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Antiques_and_Collectibles/Coins/Gold_Coins/
I have picked a few to get a feel for pricing, etc. As you already
know, prices are based on the current (spot) price of gold, so the
numbers given below were current only as of late March 25, 2004.
I have done a basic check on the Better Business Bureau web site,
and all the below pass at least that. Some are BBB members as well,
so that might come into consideration.

Some are also American Numismatic Association (ANA) members, for
whatever that adds.

None appear to take credit cards, and all appear to be "cash only"
operations, taking checks, money orders, etc. while preferring wire
transfers. As with any internet based business, make sure to watch
shipping and handling charges, and some places have wire transfer
charges, etc.
Gold closed at $415 and change March 25, 2004, so pricing ranges
from $2.00 over spot if you go with a 1 oz. "Australian Kangaroo"
from the Guidance Corporation up to $20.00 over spot for the 1 oz.
"American Eagles."
