Very nice! I have the 2.5 oz silver US Navy medal but didn't plan on getting a 1 oz version. Many years ago I bought the US Navy Bicentennial 3" bronze medal, and I may go ahead and add the new bronze US Navy medal when it's released.

Nope, not me but my Dad. I have a lot of Navy memorabilia in remembrance of him. He retired as a Master Chief after over 20 years of service in 1975 and passed away in 1995.

I like the designs of all those 1 and 2.5oz military medals, they did a great job and I dont think you need to have been in the military to appreciate them. Look forward to seeing whatever case Dearborn chooses that we've discussed before http://goccf.com/t/425145&whichpage=3The limited mintages on some like the 2.5 will also help with value as there is demand, although of course not everyone buys them related to potential value changes and may like the bronze which is much less if just to appreciate the design.

I was introduced to coins and currency at an early age as my father was an executive at a branch of the US Dept of the Treasury. My life took a different direction as also my interests went into other areas, but when my father passed away some years back it has always been a thought to get back involved and I have been doing that a bit as time permits.

Just one step from the highest rank an Enlisted person can get (E-9) the highest is MCPON (Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy) - Not counting Chief Warrant Officers that is. and Yes, I want to create a nice display case for these coins, but I'm waiting until I have them all and to also see if the 'Space Force" will be included .... |

Last article below I had seen on this...others such as this mentioned 2023 https://www.coinnews.net/2022/06/13...-enrollment/According to U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White, the coinage bureau is expected to execute a 2.5-ounce .999 fine silver medal Space Force medal, 2 inches or 50.8 millimeters in diameter, and exhibiting a Matte Finish, to issued first with a limited mintage. Although U.S. Mint officials have not yet disclosed an exact release date nor an authorized mintage for the Space Force medal, the 2.5-inch silver medals issued recognizing the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps were all issued with production restricted to 10,000 each, priced at $160 per medal.

Well the Navy medal cost $75.00 now up by 10 bucks. Yes that article I quoted from was from Dec 9, 2022 which was the last they covered the info, but as you at least know there were price increases a bit after that for 2023 mint products and so the current 2023 pricing is what to go by until they may change in 2024. I was mentioning more about the space force medals info what was mentioned to be released. |

The ship depicted on the medal of the previous year came straight at you, correct? This one is at an angle.

And here is another proposed design. The CCAC favored this pairing of obverse and reverse designs for the 2.5-ounce silver medal recognizing the U.S. Navy originally.  |
