Yea ... It would be nice to know the real answer...
I guess I am curious ... If others see the odd way the mint did
the 10th anniversary set.
It doesn't really matter .... I just find it interesting.

Was there a set released in 1995? I only see 2006 and 2011 in the Red Book.  |

Ah! That is how I missed it. I do not do gold.  Still odd, calling it a tenth anniversary set. |

Don't forget about the 2013 West Point set.

The 2012 and 2013 sets do not really fit into the point I was trying to make.
The point was, why did the mint make the 10th anniversary set
in 1995'?
Based on other Anniversary sets, it should have been put out in 1996.

There's probably an answer out there, but I suspect it would be difficult to dig up without talking to the U.S. Mint marketing folks from 20 years ago. Maybe marketing just messed up and missed the actual 20th anniversary and thought they could still leverage that magic number with the logic that 1986 + 20 = 2006. Quote:
Based on other Anniversary sets, it should have been put out in 1996. Or the 20th and 25th Anniversary sets should have come out in 2005 and 2010 since the 10th set was first (and correct)... Ok, so it wasn't correct, but it was first.  Edited by CelticKnot

No, 1995 was not correct for the tenth anniversary. 1986 was the first year. 1987 was the first anniversary. 1995 was the tenth year. 1996 was the tenth anniversary. I was married in 2002. My tenth anniversary was in 2012, not 2011.  |

Cascade sent me an email about the thread, this was my reply Simple answer is they goofed. 1995 was the 10th YEAR of the ASE not the tenth anniversary. They got it right on the other two. Want to make it a little more confusing. The 1986 ASE started mid year so the tenth year was really the latter half of 1995 and the first half of 1996. So a first strike 1996 would actually be a tenth year and not a tenth Anniversary coin. A first strike 1995 is really a ninth year coin. They just decided to ignore that and went by calendar years.
