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.
The egg of course, there were creatures laying eggs long before there were chickens.
