With the economy in a slump all over the world it is a great time to buy gold. In history, gold, is the one material where the cost has not dropped. If you had bought one ounce of gold 40 years ago it would have went up in value by 5 times it's original price.
A lagging economy creates opportunity for investors in most any commodity. Gold is a good investment, depending on your investment goals, as it is not as volatile as the stock markets and tends to be more stable than most commodities.
It depends on what type of gold coins you have. If you have mostly bullion coins, we have fairly high gold prices in US dollars (about $1600) but a few months ago we had gold at $1800. These high prices though have depressed the price of most numismatic gold, meaning that if you have collector coins (early gold, or high grade specimens) their price over their gold value is low right now.

If you Have silver dollars sell as coins or for the silver?
It depends on the coin. First, look at the condition, mint-state examples of Peace Dollars or Morgan Dollars will sell at a premium over the silver value. Do not clean your coins, they can only lose value by cleaning them. Secondly, look at the mintages of your coins, if there were many coins minted, your coins might be better to sell for the silver. If there were few coins minted, the coin is most likely worth a premium over the silver coin. However, if you bring your coins into a coin or jewelry shop, and it is a rare or great condition they will usually tell you and buy it for a premium. If the coin is common they will usually pay melt value which at the time of writing is around $22 for a 90% silver dollar.
