Gold American Eagles dated 2014 will go on sale to the U.S. Mint’s authorized purchasers network on Jan. 2. These buyers will be able to pick up their initial orders for 2014 coins on Jan. 7.

To supply 2014-dated gold Eagle coins as rapidly as possible, the Mint will ship nothing but 2014 coins until Jan. 21.

Beginning on Jan. 21, buyers of gold one-ounce and gold tenth ounce American Eagle coins will have to take leftover 2013-dated coins of those weights until these supplies are exhausted.

Buyers will have to take one 2013-dated coin for every 2014-dated coin they buy beginning on Jan. 21 and continue to do so until the supplies of 2013 one-ounce and tenth-ounce gold Eagle coins are gone.

There are no 2013 quarter ounce or half-ounce gold Eagles left.
