The United States Mint will begin accepting orders for the 2012 bullion Gold and Silver Eagles tomorrow, January 3rd, 2012 from its network of authorized purchasers (APs). The announcement of the debut of the 2012-dated coins was made in a memo last week to the APs and also included additional details as well as alluded to anticipated sufficient supplies of the bullion Eagles.
Bullion Gold Eagles and Silver Eagles are not sold directly to the public. Instead, they are offered in bulk to a network of authorized purchasers who pay a small premium above the current spot price of the precious metals contained within the coins. The APs then resell them to coin and precious metal dealers and the public for an additional premium above spot. [click to continue…]
