@CaliSkier @Craig, the irony was I mentioned to my contact that I don’t think there has ever been an ASE D mint mark and ASE S was suppose to be retired when I made the inquiry about the Team USA Privy ASE mint mark.

@Craig, sort of like this D-ASE+privy+dualdate:

CaliSkier, Excellent recommendations, as we all come to expect from you. I’m just not a ‘medal’ guy and would’ve loved (that’s for you AKBob!) to have a monetized coin included in the set. I like your ASE ‘D’ suggestion. Maybe they could’ve had Daniel Carr press the coins? Cheers

Since you brought it up, I’ll run with it! LOL What would have been cool, is for an ASE to be included across the board in the BOM Sets vs the silver medals. Then, limited to only BOM Sets, similar to the 1995 W ASE that was only available as part of a special 4 coin AGE Set, the ASE in the BOM Set could have carried the “D” Mint Mark! Now that would have stirred up the hornets nest for sure!

That IMO, would likely have also generated stronger sales for the Standing and Walking Liberty offerings possibly? At what’s shaping up to be a BOM 30K, 30K, 30K, 15K, 15K Mintage Limit vs production runs(?)/final audited mintage, this would have been a 1st ever D minted ASE with a maximum of 120K! Hmm… Ponder at what could have been? ROFLMAO

Whether you like the accompanying BOM Silver medals or not, you can’t deny that MS70’s are fetching healthy premiums on the secondary market. With the silver medals likely being one offs with mintages of less than 30K, perhaps they’ll have steady legs and premiums will increase over time numismatically? PS My only wish, would have been to have had the edge contain either the dual date and or 250th Anniversary. PSS Heck, for that matter, why not have just gone all in and made a 1st ever selective gold gilding on those medals? Might have looked pretty cool?

Tired, For some reason, the Au items ordered from the mint have been slow to ship. My other Au items took about two weeks (or more) to get delivered, so I’m chalking this one up as an anomaly since it only took 4 days. They must have separate crews working the clad/Ag items vs Au products in shipping as my clad/Ag items always get to me quickly. Go figure.

You’re cracking me up, JQC.

Great analysis Mike!! Thank you for sharing.

Meanwhile, my WL hasn’t even been shipped. It took me literal months to get the Mercury, someone at the Mint must have it in for me.

Markets, Box stores, CVA, Target used to be good sources now not a lot of cash.. I got 2 Nicl
es at dollar tree mo FHS ago….I am just GIDDY. DONT WORRY THEYNWILL BE HERE IN 5-10 years…the # of halves will be astronomical, and zero circulation it seems…Bank said no longer allowing orders for $259:half boxes….. ask for these coins at a Ba k, Wille Sutton got better service

Dave, it is weird and if you were there, the 1976 coins circulated heavily and you could buy at banks. Perhaps they have been buried for posterity under the East Wing Basement…
