There's no way to sell it back without paying insane transaction fees.

At that point why not just invest in a gold stock

Ok so you buy a gold bar from Costco then what… stare at it then take it to a pawn shop to sell?

Call around to local coin shops or do a private sell via classifieds

And the coin shop will just charge you a 10%-20% transaction fee, thats all!

Also, with Executive membership and using the Costco card, you get 4% back
