Silver Eagles

You can buy new American Silver Eagles from the mint. I'm not sure if there is a limit. Some times for the limited edition ones there are. But I'm sure you could buy the new 2007 American Silver Eagles by the roll from the mint. I don't think you can buy past years, they are all sold out.

Any one know how to become an authorized dealer?

Unless you already have a high volume bullion business, you do not have a chance to become an authorized dealer.

To become a United States Mint Authorized Purchaser, your firm must meet the following financial and professional criteria, which must be attested to by an internationally accepted accounting firm.

* Be an experienced and established market-maker in gold/platinum and/or silver bullion coins.
* Provide a liquid two-way market for the coins.
* Be audited annually by an internationally-accepted accounted firm.
* Have an established broad base of retail customer base in which to distribute the coins.
* Have a tangible net worth of $50 million for Gold and Platinum Eagles, and $5 million for Silver Eagles. This requirement may be met using letter of credit.
* Have sold over 100,000 ounces of gold bullion coins over any twelve-month period since 1990. (This criterion is for becoming a United States Mint Authorized Purchaser of gold bullion.)

Premiums and Minimums

The United States Mint charges a modest preminum above the current market price of platinum, gold, and silver to cover minting, distribution and marketing costs.

* For the Silver Eagle, we charge the United States Mint's Authorized Purchasers the price of silver plus $1.25 per coin premium. Minimum ordering requirement is 25,000 coins.
* For the Gold Eagles, we charge 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% premiums for the one, one-half, one-quarter and one-tenth ounce coins respectively. Minimum ordering requirements are 1000 ounces.
* For the Platinum Eagles, we charge 4%, 6%, 10% and 15% premiums for the one, one-half, one-quarter and one-tenth ounces coins respectively. Minimum ordering requirements are 1000 ounces.

Thanks everyone. What makes everyone think I don't have an extra $50,000,000 setting around?

Green monster refers to the boxes that the walking liberties come in. 25 rools of 20 coins to the box.

I bought some silver eagles from a guy by the name of Hannes Tulving on the net several years ago(2000?). He had a 200 coin minimum, & I bought them in February right after the mint made that years supply available. I sold them back to him at the end of the year for a couple dollars more per coin than I paid. Worked out good for me, but it has been several years & I haven't dealt with him since.

Anyway, after reading this thread I checked out his web site to see if he was still around. He has year 2007 ASE's in the mint sealed box of 500 for $1.63/coin over spot, with a 500 coin minimum. His current price on other years, in mint tubes of 20, is $1.35/coin over spot with a 200 coin minimum.

It's relatively easy to get a green monster box but the best time to get them/order them is in January when they are first released. I get mine from a bullion dealer in Reno Nevada. He charges $65.00 shipping but it's heavy. I've put an unopened box back every year for a while now (since 2000). Wishing for the low mintage year and then bust out some 70's would be icing on the cake.
