It's possible we see some 250 privy coins for next year, and another 230 privy for the next dollar coin. They have already announced the gold coins for 2026, but not the dollar coin.

Yes, it is possible, and if they do, those 250th Anniversary privy coins will be very popular and sell for very high prices if auctioned, too.
This does not necessarily mean the FH values will drop significantly, it just means more rich collectors will have another low mintage variety to buy. These varieties are a niche market, but many of the FH gold privies are in strong hands for the long term if they are collectors.
In 1976, the Mint issued one pound gold medals for the bicentennial on demand. A total of only 423 were struck and were sold for $4,000. Last week one sold for $60,000 in MS65 at Heritage. There are probably less than 30-40 that still exist.
I would really like to see a 2-ounce or a 5-ounce gold medal for the 250th Anniversary, but so far nothing special like that has been announced.

Waitta bring out the big guns of beauty, Bully!
And thanks Phil for posting your photos, I suspect we will be discussing both coins for years to come.
