9. What are the criteria for becoming a U.S. Mint Authorized Purchaser of Platinum, Gold or Silver bullion coins? Our minimum ordering requirement for gold and platinum is 1,000 ounces, and for silver is 25,000 ounces. To become an authorized purchaser, you must:
be an experienced and established market-maker in gold/silver bullion coins;
provide a two-way market for the coins;
be audited annually by an internationally accepted accounting firm;
have established a broad base of retail customers in which to distribute the coins;
have a tangible net-worth of $50 million for Platinum and Gold Eagles and $5 million for Silver Eagles (this requirement may be met using a letter of credit);
and (for gold) have sold over 75,000 ounces of any bullion coin over any twelve month period since 1980.
