How to Buy American Eagle Bullion Coins
Aside from Proof version, the Mint does not sell
American Eagle Bullion Coins directly to the
Public. Instead, the Mint distributes the coins
through a network of wholesalers, brokerage
companies, precious metal firms, coin dealers and
participating banks. This method provides an effective and efficient
distribution, which maximizes the availability of the coins in local retail
markets as well as major investment markets.
American Eagle Bullion Coins are sold based on the current market price
of platinum, gold or silver plus a small premium to cover minting,
distribution and marketing costs. A portion of this premium is recoverable
upon resale.
Prices between dealers will vary, so be sure to shop around. Volume
discounts often apply.
