Does anyone have experience with buying and selling gold coins? Based on everything I've read, a national bank is permitted to engage in these activities and charge fees. As to charging fees, I couldn't find any guidance on how much could or should be charged for purchases. Does anyone have insight?

I am of no help on the specifics of your question, but you might want to review this, if you have not previously seen it: https://www.occ.treas.gov/static/news-issuances/bulletins/pre-1994/banking-circulars/BC-1981-58.pdf

Thanks, Randy. I did pull that bulletin from the archives.
