Six, would have been seven if I would have ordered the silver proof set. Took it off of my subsciption early in the summer because I thought $150 was high. They're three hundred plus now that the mint suspended (ended?) production. Nuts!

I have everything they released this year with an ASE, plus the normal bullion and flying eagle bullion. Only non ASE purchase was the 1/2 0z gold 25th Anniversary Sac dollar. Been a hell of a year! I did get my Marine privy today. A buddy tried for a second one for me and he failed. One is good! |

From what I have seen on the US Marine Corps Silver Eagle 'privy' coin (on ebay), the United States Mint dislikes the US Navy.  |

I can gladly say "NONE" since 2023.

The 2 ASE releases from San Francisco both seemed to suck in quality compared to what West Point put out, comparing the Army and the Laser privy to the regular S proof and the Navy privy. Poor detail. |

Quote:Just don't follow too closely - I break check.. Careful! That is against the law in most states, including ours!  Arizona: Brake checking can be charged as a misdemeanor under reckless or aggressive driving laws, with penalties including fines, jail time, and license suspension.
South Carolina: Brake checking is considered reckless driving. It has never happened to me because I do not brake check, but I have witnessed other people getting pulled over for doing it. |

Quote:yes, I know, but I didn't say 'brake'... Wait. Is "break" checking a thing? Like, are you gonna go on break after you check? And when you do, why does it matter who is behind you, do you want the first go at the doughnuts?  Or are you checking for breaks in your purchase runs?  |
