The Army ASE is coming in a couple months and the other 2 are soon to follow You would think the design art would be attached to the mint's web page, but there isn't really any info about them yet Is this normal? |

The whole situation is a little new to us. I think the V75 was a little more organized in it's inception and release, where this was sort of a surprise when the product schedule came out. Everyone was like "huh? This will be an ASE?". I'm not surprised info is a little slow in coming and really, for me anyways, waiting to see if this is really as simple as a privy mark on an ASE. |

I have seen artist renderings future releases on the US Mint site that are more distant than these, such as the 250th Anv Marine Corps Coin.
I remember seeing those last year.
Additionally, is usually easy to find the submitted designs for future coins on the internet; the 2026 coin submissions are everywhere.
However, these, which seem be simple privy marks, are elusive.

I just revisited this on the mint website. To be clear, the website doesn't say much of anything. Unless people have heard otherwise, there is nothing saying that they are simply Privy mark ASEs. The only thing we can be certain of is that they are proof, so they'll have to come from the mint, and I did notice, maybe others have, that the three mints that produce ASEs are involved in these. I saw the West Point mint is making the Army, and Philly and San Francisco are making the other two Which makes me wonder; when was the last time Philly made a proof ASE? Since they consider these part of the Eagle coin program, I'd like to think it's not some "way out there" thing that doesn't represent an ASE. Possibly just different lettering or yes, it could be that it's a privy mark. It could even be just different COA, which works make it really interesting to have the P mint mark. It think it'll be interesting in the very least. **To answer my own question, it looks like 2000 was the last time there was a Philadelphia proof, they produced a reverse proof ASE in 2006 and 2011. But no P proof since 2000. So this will be great to see again. Edited by Gilly

The item numbers include letters that indicate the coins will be privy marked
They are
Army - Item Number: 25APM
Maarine Corps - Item Number: 25MPM
Navy - Item Number: 25NPM

Could be. Even "probably". I can't recall those codes ever really making sense. Although the last time they used a code with 3 letters, at least for ASEs, was in 2021 when they added an N to the back of the normal 2 letter code for the type 2 ASEs.
We'll see....
Mainly looking forward to a Philly proof.

I assumed the "X"PM stood for the service and privy mark but I think the 25 is a trunicated way of saying 250th anniversery

Have a look at the 2024 image West point Silver Eagle : the code is 24EA in the 2025 image that same silver eagle is 25EA

That's makes sense
Now that I see more items numbers equating to the Item names I feel more confident the PM stands for Privy Mark
The 250th Anv Marine Corp Commemorative Dollar is 25CD

Not sure if this is the same but I've herd an online content "silver dragon" talk about an on line game that when you play and accumulate enough points you can buy coins that where made by the united states mint and do have a pervey mark on them. Not sure if this is something different than what is being talked about here.

So an on line look reveals there is an on line game that you can win points to get a low mint ASE with a pervey mark on it from the Philadelphia mint. The game is called 8 th era. |

But I do believe this is something different than what is being talked about here. There was no mention of this coin being military.

Yes different things. The one relating to the 8th Era game (Nice Gang? I'm not into gaming) was done last year and was bullion with a star privy. This year the rumor is the mint is doing this again with an eagle privy mark. This year the mint is "doing something" with the ASE (evidently) to honor the 250th anniversary of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corp. I would still call it speculation that what they are doing is privy marks for each. The only thing certain is one of each of the US Mints that have produced ASEs is making one of each of the branches, and that these are proof ASEs, not bullion. I agree it's a good case that these are privy mark ASEs, but we'll see. |
