Treat the gold coins as investments just like stocks. Instead of
shares just use your unit of purchase (ounces, grams, etc.).

That is what you should do IF these coins only have bullion value.
If some of the coins also have value as COINS (to coin collectors) I
would suggest THOSE coins be under another fixed asset account (say
collectible coins) with separate sub accounts for each issue and
condition. You would then on some periodic basis (once a year?) mark to
current (looked up) value with the gain or loss going to an "unrealized
capital gains" account.
But if you are actively trading those (not holding long term) discuss
with your accountant.
