Nothing better than the grands. What a nice gift (2022 silver proof set).

So true.

Kaiser: Sadly have to agree. Still hope it changes though. I try and do my part with family members but sometimes I think it is futile. I am sure many were sold to the local “buy gold” pawn shops you see on every corner for a fraction of their value.

Kaiser: I like how you described the difference. Fancy vs. elegant.

Kaiser: lol I was at a dozen for each but now 1/2 dozen. Ironically, I was subscribed for 25 but cut back to a dozen because of the high production numbers. I may reduce to one next year just to stay in the game.

I had thought 500,000 but 690,000 is quite a few. It would be nice to see younger people jumping in but am doubtful.

Major D: Just wow with these numbers. The W mint used to be my favorite with the ASE. It moved to the bottom of my list. Exception: the uncirculated W. The mint seems to be deceptive by stating a mintage and then slowly we find out that the stated numbers never included the bulk sales.

Thanks Major D! Wow almost hitting $100. They way they pumped those mintage numbers last year has me thinking they will do the same again. I was going to cut my subscriptions by 10% but have actually pared them by 50%.
