With 4% executive and credit card cash back, it costs $2448.
So, transaction cost is nearly zero. Good, but some of these Costco deals have negative transaction cost.
Compare that to an ETF, where transaction cost is usually zero, but holding cost is about 1% of your investment every 4-5 years due to ETF management fees.
Also be aware Costco executive cash back has a limit of $1,250/year, and many cc cb deals also have limits.

I'll probably hold my stake for at least another decade.
So, the actual spot price doesn't matter much to me - it's basically a wash sale.

You can sell to an online outfit like kitco or jm bullion, or you can try a local coin shop/trader. You should shop around - selling physical gold is more like selling a used car than selling stocks. Different buyers will pay different prices. Pawn shops, jewelers, and cash for gold places will also buy gold, but usually won't pay top dollar for it.
Legally, investment bullion is usually a capital gain, short or long term, like stocks. Keep your receipts to prove your cost basis, since a broker isn't doing it for you.
One illegal advantage to physical gold is that the buyer doesn't have to file a 1099 with the IRS unless you sell them over $10k worth. That means you can probably get away with not reporting the gain.
