If I buy the index 500 fund from vanguard, it is benchmarked against the S&P500; however, IAU its benchmarked against what? or is there a gold (coin) "index" I could look to see its performance or compare it against the S&P500 or how it hows performed in the last 60 years?

Gold is a 24hr over the counter market, so no central exchange you can get a price from. If you are looking for daily data over a long period of time, then use the London Fixes, which you can download from here
