The US Mint has announced the availability of the 2019 American Silver Eagle coins. Dealers are already accepting pre-orders of 2019 Silver Eagles at reduced premiums in anticipation of the January 7 release date.
Additionally, several trusted and reputable national online bullion dealers have reduced the dealer premiums on 2018 American Silver Eagle coins to clear out their inventory to make room for the 2019 Silver Eagle coins.
The US Mint charges “Authorized Purchasers”, essentially the 9 US-based wholesale bullion distributors that are allowed to purchase directly from the Mint a $2.00 per coin premium over the LBMA Silver Spot Price at the time of purchase.
The premium that is charged by the US Mint is passed along to the retail dealers who in turn pass it along to consumers, investors and end-buyers. Retail bullion dealers charge a premium over that which covers their overhead and profit.
In recent weeks dealer premiums on 2018 American Silver Eagle coins have been as low as $2.21 over silver spot price when you buy a Monster Box of 500 coins.
