New Gold and Silver Eagle Bullion Coins 2012

New Gold and Silver Eagle Bullion Coins 2012 ; The United States Mint will begin sales of the 2012-dated American Gold Eagle and American Silver Eagle bullion coins to authorized purchasers on January 3, 2012. The newly dated versions available each year are eagerly anticipated by many collectors.

Bullion products of the United States Mint are distributed through a network of authorized purchasers. These AP’s are able to place orders for bullion coins directly with the Mint in bulk quantities at prices based on the market price of the precious metal plus a fixed or percentage mark up. The bullion coins are then resold to secondary retailers or in some cases directly to the public. The AP’s are also responsible for establishing a two way market for the US Mint’s bullion coins.

At the authorized purchaser level, the minimum ordering requirement is 25,000 coins for Silver Eagles and 1,000 ounces for Gold Eagles. The premium charged for Silver Eagles is $2.00 per coin above the market value of the silver content, based on the London Fix on the first business day following the order. The premiums for Gold Eagles are 3%, 5%, 7%, 9% for the one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce coins respectively.

The 2012 Gold Eagle features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ obverse design from the gold double eagle minted from 1907 to 1933 along with a reverse design by Miley Busiek depicting a family of eagles.

This year both the one ounce size and fractional weight sizes will be available for authorized purchasers to order on January 3, 2012. Last year, only the one ounce versions were available initially, with the fractional weight coins available at a later date.

For the 2011 year to date, the US Mint has sold exactly one million ounces worth of American Gold Eagle bullion coins. For 2010, sales had reached 1,220,500 ounces.
