The only place I know right now that has them in quantity is APMEX. Tulving has the best price - sells them for spot+$9 per coin (50 coin minimum); but they are out of stock for him right now.
I'd try to see if you can pick some up at your local coin show. I think that's your best bet right now. Dealers sometimes sell foreign GOLD at or near spot at the shows.
Dealer buy price is around spot = $334.

I just got a couple at a show today for 340 each- I was happy!
Best price I've seen is CNI here: buy @331.00 sell@356.00
http://www.golddealer.com/bullionpage.html$2000 minimum, though. Never used them myself.

Probably just as cheap or cheaper to order then from eBay or a bullion dealer in the UK and get them shipped if you're buying a few. I've ordered from the USA to the UK before on American junk silver as it's cheaper than to buy it here.

I haven't bought any recently, but am holding on to what I have. When I was buying, however, it's possible to get some with potential for collector value beyond just the gold content. Look for the mintmark on the reverse below the horseman. They can be from Canada (C), India (I), South Africa (SA), Australia--Melbourne (M) and Australia-Perth (P). If you're going to spend that kind of money, take a little extra time and get something a little more special for the same money.
It's even possible to build a type set with all of the mintmarks plus those from Britian. Of course, then you may have some additional hesitation when it comes time to melt those rascals for a hefty profit. I like those better than the French 20 francs.
