The US Mint does not sell 2010 American Eagle coins, are the coins sold by retail sources legitimate?

The US Mint does not sell 2010 American Eagle coins, but I have seen the coins sold by commercial sources (e.g. Littleton Coins). Are these coins from the retail outlets the same coins originally sold by the mint? If yes (or maybe), how can I be sure?

There's really no point in counterfeiting silver eagles. They're bullion, which means they're produced in the multi-millions and they're everywhere. Because of the cost involved in counterfeiting coins in a quality that will pass, regular issues that change dates every year are not worth the counterfeiter's time and money. They go after the rare coin market.

Thusly, any American silver eagle bullion coins are going to be pretty safe to buy.

You can buy from Littleton, and you'll pay more than you can get them for other places. Try eBay. Many, many reputable sellers of eagle coins there.
