It depends a bit on why you are buying gold coins. Proof coins are more expensive because they are intended as collectibles. The regular “business strike” coins are intended primarily as bullion.
If you are buying bullion and don’t care about the collectible position, most coin dealers will sell you Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, or US Eagles, all of which contain one Troy ounce of gold and sell for slightly more than the gold spot price.
Here is one foremost bullion dealer’s current price list, to give you an thought of what is available and at what price:

The reserves sells proof coins for collectors because proof coins are made using a unique process to give them a mirrored look and they are usually made in the San Francisco of West Point mint. If you are interested other gold coins i would check out ebay or buy the Red Book which is a book most coin collectors use when buying.
