So at 3249 this is $40 above spot. Add in 2% Costco reward plus any 2% or more CC and you are well below spot.
Why the down votes? No tax, no cc upcharge? Jealousy? Idiocy?

But, I'd rather have American, Canadian, or Swiss gold. American coins are only $50 more right now, and Costco regularly sells PAMP and Canada Maple Leaves for the same price as the Rand bars (although not in stock now).
Personally, I've only bought maple leaves from Costco. I'd want to pay less for South African gold, although others may not feel that way.
Their fries suck.

You can get a maple leaf for 3249 right now.

Don't mean to bash on Steak and Shake, but I hated their fries.
On the plus side, my first date with my now wife, we went to see The Great Mouse Detective and went to Steak and Shake.
It's a minor miracle we made it to a second date after that.

Being 33 years ago, I don't remember, but I left a tip. Probably about 15%, which was pretty standard for me at the time.
Over the past 30 years, gold has averaged 7%. $1 in gold 30 years ago would be worth about $6. That's not much better than treasuries, which would have got you about $5 with no risk.
In contrast, the S&P got about 10% if you reinvested dividends. That would be about $17.
Berkshire Hathaway 11%, or about $25.
But, most likely, it was spent to pay their bills.
