The US Mint’s authorized purchasers were notified that they could begin placing orders for 2019 silver, gold and platinum Eagle Coins and 2019 Gold Buffalo coins starting on January 7, 2019.
A spokesman for the US Mint announced that production of 2018-dated coins has ended and any remaining inventory would be used to fill orders placed before the end of the year.
The U.S. Mint does not sell the bullion versions of its coins directly to the public. The Mint sells the coins through a group of authorized purchasers who buy wholesale amounts of the coins with prices based on the closing London PM spot price of their weight in precious metal on a specific day plus a premium over spot price.
