Try a local Bank. I know some around here have them for sale with no markup. Good luck.

Really? Banks selling silver eagles? I had never heard of that. Coin shop yes, but not banks. Maybe just that way in my area. ???

These were never meant for circulation, they are bullion coins. In desperation someone may have taken one to the bank and received its $1 face value in exchange, but this would be a major rarity. I don't think you'll find any at the bank. Your best bet would be a local coin shop to avoid the Apmex S&H costs. I've seen them priced around $3 to $6 over silver spot price which is around $14.50 now.

Im going on vacation to my home town of New Orleans. I figured I would help out the economy and buy the silver Eagles down there. I called to get a quote from a local dealer and they said $37.95, you have to be kidding me. They are really jacking it up.

That price sounds like the proof version which is about what the mint sells them for. Uncirculated coins should sell for under 20.00.

I buy the silver proofs every year by subscription because I think they are the most beautiful coin ever minted.

Silver eagles at 20.00 each?
I have several 20pc rolls from the last 5 years I wouldn't mind unloading
They are packed and uncirculated in the plastic us mint cases with the green cap
I had bought them direct from the mint when they offered them to the general public
I'm financially strapped and have considered unloading
Including 10oz bars,1 high end atocha certified coin, Morgan's, gold and so on
I hopeI Hvent broken any rules on this post
Next step is E-bay

The banks here in the midwest sell American Eagles but they are at quit a premium like 32.00 they come in a nice case though.

I can hook you up for 20 from the mint for around 400 , ive seen them go for less , timing is the thing.Cheapest i can or could get them was 343 for 20 new from the mint..and to be honest look to the canada maple..they are purer and cheaper same weight..its a no brainer

The folks that advertise eagles cheap in magazines are trying to hook you
They allow you to by a small amount cheap but what they are looking for is getting you on their mailing and phone call list.
They will hound you to death with calls and mail to get you to buy there coins at an incredible mark up
I was a victim of this scam and I can shake them
They are slick, if you listen to the back ground of a call, its obvious its a boiler room operation
I had found these guys thru the Readers Digest
Offered 10 UNC Eagles for 10.00 each
They are very aggressive and abusive on the phone to get and order
If you ask for a scan of they COIN they are trying to push, they say they cant but will return your money if your not happy - YA RIGHT
