That would be the 7th Silver Eagle for 2025
Market saturation is never good for collectables

2025 will be known as "Year of the Privy", I hope the Mint does not keep doing this every year.

If sales are good and they make money, they'll keep them coming. I can't wait for the tick privy LOL.

When did this privy pop into existence?! Also, why laser beam?

I have been checking the web site daily for pics of the Army/Navy/Corps ASEs and did not see this until Mojojojo posted about it

Zero interest in privy marks, just a money making and gimmick maneuver by the same mint that is now giving us super-hero garbage.

This one has me as little baffled. It does say West Point, where the past and current privy marked (bullion) ASEs were Philly. Yet it doesn't say that it's either proof or Uncirculated or something else. The mint by law can't sell bullion directly to the public, so I doubt it's bullion. This will be interesting. Note the unusual 4 digit product code. And what would a laser beam privy look like?

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Quote: A new die is not needed to mint these. In theory. They make dies constantly, my thought is that they probably do have the privy mark made into the die. That's not how it started out being, with someone marking a coin with a punch. But now they probably want the process all done at once. No inconsistencies.

Quote: Also, why laser beam? I'm with you on that. Star? Yep. Eagle? Yep Laser beam? Excuse me? Maybe it'll make sense when we see it or they explain it somehow. I can't even envision what it looks like. Could they actually mean the coin is being branded or "privied" with a laser? Some new cutting edge thing? This is weird.

Remember when The American Silver Eagles Series was about The ASE's, Seems an entity is running with a Secondary agenda....

Correct!!! Why would the Mints " water down " the ASE's..... That's how this feels....
