At this point, all that's posted are the advanced releases and maybe show grades - so grain of salt time - but: NGC PF70 = 1,117
PCGS PF69 = 194, PF70 = 893 -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

Anyone else think that it is ironic that the privy mark for this coin in not as crisp as the actual "Laser in Use" warning symbol?  |

@ Boba Debt, This Concern is a Very Valid Point, In examining The 2025 Laser Beam privy Proof ASE, It appears as GILLY previously stated, The finish as far as Fine details are Better or Enhanced slightly, While Originally issued 1986 Proof ASE does Not have as Much fine details in Some areas, As this Laser release, At least that's what I found. I wish My ole eyes were seeing a Larger Overall Mark. The " Laser Beam " You posted has a Very Stark difference in Crispness, Seems Mostly a Rounded or Less defined emblem is The Laser ways of the Future, ? I would like to see a Crisper image ( privy mark ) going Forward to The U S Navy & The U S Marines  Excellent Pictures Gilly and John, Well Done  |

It's an artistic privy, not an actual laser warning ...  |

For as small as the laser privy is, there really is a lot of detail, specifically in the center circle area. The highest zoom I could talk my phone scope (and hands)in to just barely do it justice.
Per the Mint, the next issues will also be laser privy, so possibly a comparison can be drawn between these and the Army privy. Even the 2025S regular proof should be laser engraved.

Checked out the Bay and saw what appears to be a New(er) Third Party Grader, Or a Off Shoot of an Existing one. It was holding a 1995-W American Silver Eagle Proof, Graded " 10 ",  Asking $16,495.00 ( a steal ). NGC X Very Odd or Different " grading system, Seems to be a 1-10 grading, Looks like a 10 is Suppose to be what The Sheldon Scale calls a 70, I could be wrong, Please, Anyone in the Know, Thanks.... |

Please, Anyone in the Know, Thanks.... Yes, I'm not all that "up" on the grading game. But I do feel it's important as a collector to keep somewhat aware of that aspect of the hobby. NGCX did come about maybe 3-4 years ago. About the same time you saw that "Breaks" boxes, where you bought one of these boxes and was a little like winning the lottery, with guarantees that so many boxes would have a such and such valuable copy. But correct, it is NGC, but the scale is supposed to be similar to sports cards. Trying to lure card collectors to the coin hobby. Yes a 10 is a 70. That's about what a 95W goes for in that grade.
