Question
Could you tell me the four distributors the government has selected to sell American Eagles?

Answer
Hi Darlene, I can but that won't help you.
They will only wholesale is 10,000 ounce quantities.
They are merely distributors.  You probably want a dealer who eill sell to you at a low price.  The cheapest you will find will be in the $18 range and the mint charges spot silver plus a minting and handling fee or about $1.65
So, $18 is a very good price if you are buying enough of them (500+)
You can get some good deals on eBay now that you know what they should cost.
Good Luck
