I'm following this year's ASE releases closely. I intend to keep my collection current this year but If this descends into the baseball card 90's era market oversaturation levels, I will unfortunately have to leave the ASE program, no matter how good they all look in the CAPS album.

@ Celtic, Our beloved American Eagles Silver Series has turned into a " circus " Which now directs its agendas towards enthusiast's of cartoon characters and Digital games . The times, They are a Changin....  Your Reasonable decision has more people behind those sentiments than you think. One must remember, We decide what and when We buy that We desire, Not any others...... I too am getting weary of all the hype, Label makers are having a Ball, Very dizzying events, Sorry, I know You Too enjoy The American Eagles Silver Series, As We knew it..... Be Well, MD.

They can bicker about the rarest labels and lowest pops. Don't mean doodly squat to me. I buy the coin and sets. I have little in the way of slabbed anything. Since I don't have to worry about what a 70 grade in any issue is going to cost me, it makes it a little easier to do. Since I feel I have the complete coin and sets collection, all I have to do is stay current. I'd have to say things really stagnated since 2021. This is almost "too much too soon". I'm ready for it, sounds like we'll have a few interesting order days (just when I was used to getting everything I want by subscription, they go and change the rules!) I'm also glad that they are evidently tamping down production of everything. That part has been a little dismaying to me. That's the worst part of the last few years. Millions and millions of everything being made.

I do like the mintage being only 100k. I wish they would put it on subscription of limit of 1 (put 50k up for subscription) and the rest on preorder date in June. I do think they should limit this to 1 or 2 but 3 isn't bad.

Is it safe to assume the other two ( USMC, USN ) will also have the same mintage limits ?

With a mintage of 100k, I'll get one. I hope I've earned my free shipping by then! Assuming the other military privies are also 100k and an estimated price tag of $95 each, that's another $285 to the mint. [eyeroll]

I hope to get just one. Add it to the set. At 100k, there will be ordering day hype and probably people buying them, with dollar signs in their eyes. I don't really buy into that, it's not what I'm trying to do. I'm sure many will buy the 3. The other will settle down after a month or two.
