The images are up on the USM website for the next 2 250th Anniversary (US Navy and Marines) silver eagles. No other details that I noticed, such as date and price.
Perhaps a moderator would like to change the title of this thread so we can have one thread for all three of these releases

FWIW, the USPS also has released 250th Anniversary Forever stamps for the Army, Navy and Marines. Might be nice companion pieces to the ASEs.  There are FDCs, sheets, and collector sets available. |

Might be nice companion pieces to the ASEs. Things seldom work the way you think they should. I see a real missed opportunity for the mint and I'm sure the graders will as well. A little too much "out of the box" thinking. US Mint: make a set of the coins with the corresponding stamp. Either a set of three or buy individually. I have a hard time visualizing what it works look like. First thought is a normal looking clamshell, with the stamp mounted under the lid, you'd see the ASE (with the appropriate privy mark) and the stamp mounted just above it under the lid. For the graders: either have the stamp mounted in the label area or have it similar to a 2 coin slab, the ASE (with corresponding privy mark) on one side and the stamp on the other. That would probably necessitate 3 different issues. Unless they can come up with a slick way to have all 3 coins with all 3 stamps on a slab that isn't too huge. Imagine getting the mint director and USPS director or head postmaster to sign the slabs. |

As it happens, I went to the post office today to mail a Father's Day package to my dad. Of course I picked up a sheet of each.  Quote:

I also wish they would resume collaborations with the BEP. I think those are/were some of their most interesting sets. |
