Is it possible to just start collecting gold coins?

Yes, you don't need a PhD to start being a rare gold coin collector. However, you’ll also see that doing your research up front saves you a lot of time when looking for the best gold coins for sale. People buy coins in different places and many people are  buying them over the internet due to the ease of finding great bargains, such as the ones on this site. 

Many collectors still go through a dealer however, a person who himself probably started as a coin collector. There are lots of different dealers out there so if you choose to go through one you should remember to:

• Find a reputable dealer – A reputable dealer who can help your pursuit of collecting gold coins will be a part of the PNG. The PNG is the Professional Numismatists Guild and in order to be a certified PNG dealer you must be a full time professional in the field and have numismatic assets of over $100,000.

• Build a relationship with your dealer – Now that you’ve found a reputable dealer, you want to cultivate a relationship with that person. The more you two do business together, the more you each can benefit. Your dealer can learn, for example, when you want to buy gold coins (according to market fluctuations or times of the month or year, etc) and can also learn what specific types of gold coins you’re interested in. As you become a valued customer, building that relationship will also help you get really good prices on gold coins.
