Finally a reply:
Dear ,
Thank you for your recent inquiry to the United States Mint.
We appreciate your interest and suggestions. While we have no plans to produce a Silver Eagle with the Team USA privy mark for the public. at this time, we will keep your views in mind as we continue to evaluate our annual product portfolio.

I guess that's better than nothing, Gilly. Thanks for trying on behalf of the ASE collector community. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. "

It would be interesting to do an examination of the last time the Mint used an actually attractive presentation of a coin. Has there been anything with let's say a wooden or lacquered box, in the last....10-15 years?
At least in my collection that would be the 2012 SF Mint Anniversary and 2013 W Mint Anniversary ASE sets.  |

A thread discussing this coin at the CU website has a post from someone who contacted a parent of one the Olympians; the parent shared a photo of the PM and a photo showing a partial MM, with enough of the MM to tell it's a "P". . .
(Not posting a link as I don't want to run afoul of any CCF rules. . .)
So there's at least one Olympian (or his pop) who understands the scarcity and $$ value of the keepsake. I'll bet we see at least one up for auction before the year is out.

Not posting a link as I don't want to run afoul of any CCF rules. . . If you could download the images, then they could be posted here. If you can't handle that, then if you can email the link to me, I could do that also. The biggest disappointment is that there will be very very few ASE collectors able to add that to their collection. I know personally, I have a lot of ASEs, very complete. But this thing, this will be the equivalent of having a 1995W in 70 grade. I have that coin, but just in raw form, so when I bought it, would have been consider about a $2000 coin, may be closer to $3000 now. But in 70 grade is a 5 figure coin, maybe $12000, maybe more. Plus I bet the available ones will go to auction. My guess is over $20k for one, and will provenance on who it was awarded to, could go for well over that with documentation. |

Gilly, I know how to post a link . . .I don't know if posting links to Collector's Universe threads or posts is allowed on CCF, so I didn't. You can go there and see the thread and images for yourself. . .not going to waste my time downloading photos.
There's an Olympian in my neck of the woods who is building a house in the Truckee area. . .has a young family, getting established for life after competition. . .I would think he would be happy to have the $$ for his residence project.

Seen elsewhere:  Accompanying the photo: Quote:
Sharing some photos of the complete 2026-P TEAM USA Privy American Silver Eagle set from the August 6 White House reception honoring the 2026 U.S. Winter Olympians and Paralympians.
The set includes the TEAM USA / Milano-Cortina sleeve, U.S. Mint box, American Eagle presentation case, coin in the original capsule, and COA. The certificate identifies it as a Philadelphia proof with a P mint mark and TEAM USA privy.
From what I understand, no more than 400 were made, although I have not seen an official Mint confirmation of the exact final number. My understanding is also that this was a one-time presentation issue and that no additional examples are expected to be released.
Very cool piece of the event and one I plan to keep. If "no more than 400 were made," I think the odds of seeing one or several of these available for sale in the secondary market are better than we thought weeks ago. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. "
