@commems: Yes thanks, lots of useful info about those sets. Much more than the Red Books. I think I'll just consult 'Commems Collection' in the future.
So I have the 2025 & 2026 Red Books along with the 9th & 10th Mega Reds. I may need a new eyeglass prescription but still found nothing on the 2012 Making American History Set nor the Presidential Signature Sets along with Spouse Medals(not the gold), in those books. But I did see your post about the 2012 MAHS which is the kind of info I'm looking for. As I've said, I just want to know what else is out there that I might be missing.

@Gilly: Sure I'd like to see your list. Can never have too much knowledge!

Site says you aren't accepting emails.

Correct. New members cannot send emails.

Gilly, try sending it again. I have enabled proof71 to receive them.

proof71, if you do not wish to receive them after this, let me know and I will turn it back off.

@Gilly: So the link wouldn't allow me to see the list. How many more sets have ASEs besides the ones listed in the Mega Red books?

He was able to read the list after sending through normal email.
I'm not sure what that book you mentioned has, plus I never actually counted mine, I should do that. It's a lot to take in.

Sorry to horn in with your talk with Gilly,
There are quite a few, some that were put out by foreign Mints, I made a list that I think has them all. The ones not by the U.S. Mint are noted on the right. If anyone knows if I'm missing any, please share.

No no, not at all, a topic near and dear to my heart.
I think you have them all, all that I know about. The Perth Mint colorized was one I didn't know about until I think earlier this year, found out through Commems articles.
I do have all the sets on the list, the full sets.
The 2004 Legacies of Freedom, sort of a collaboration. I'd have to recheck it, but I think both the USM and RM sold it. So maybe has to be listed as USM/RM. Kind of an oddity in regards to even what year it was issued.
So there's that. I may need to edit this post a bit after I go back to your post.
Another kind of an oddity that needs more research.
That 2000 "Diamond Millennium" (or to that effect) paperweight. Here is what I wrote on my list:

"I'll include this in the list. I have made some attempts to verify if it was issued by the US Mint or not. The outer box
does have the US Treasury Seal, but I'm not sure if this is any positive evidence that it is really a US Mint item. I
have never seen a COA for any that I have seen online. I have heard stories that it was given out as gifts to
Authorized Purchasers and similar stories to that. The US Mint was selling Lucite paperweights similar to this in
this timeframe. I have seen a 2000 Sacagawea Lucite Globe paperweight with a box that looks like the same box as
I've seen with these diamond paperweights, so that could be the source of the box. Any other data such as price or
production numbers are unknown."

I'll edit what need to below, have you seen my ASE list?

I think both Mints had a surplus and this was a way to sell them.

The 2004 Legacies of Freedom was released in January 2004.
