RIght - it's a for-profit money maker. However if you buy coins when they're still being minted, you'll get them at their lowest prices. When the mint run ends and dealers run low on inventory, their prices rise more rapidly than generic. This is what buyers of bullion coins bank on.
Then there are the stupid-high priced coins. These are usually for the folks that have extra money to spend on something that has a deeper meaning or appeal to them.
That said, there is a popular school of thought here that buying ingots is the way to go. Even within generic there are brands that seem to garner higher prices than others - Englehard, JM (Johnson-Matthey), PAMP... vs the lower-cost Asahi and Valcambi. And across all types, usually the smaller the item, the higher cost per ounce.
