You're vastly overestimating the spread between what you'd pay and he'd receive.
There's also overhead when you donate through crowdfunding sites. There's always overhead unless you deal directly with cash. (which is why they don't want anyone using cash anymore)
I do this all the time. I know what the spread is on gold and silver.
Almost every coin I bought is now worth more than what I paid for it and then some.
A premium on a coin is no more than the merchant fee on a credit card. 3-4%. Even shitty pawn shops pay spot and are happy to trade their cash for us or Canada mint coins
