2024 Silver $, Bulk-Handled Proof-Like Test Strike, only 16 produced
You are correct, but 8 were labeled proof-like ( without a line drawn though the “proof-like, those were my first eight), and eight were with proof-like marked though, with Bulk Handled with Dan’s signature on the back of the coin flip certificate along with Proof-Like handwritten by Dan ( like yours)‼️👍

Thanks for sharing, you have a nice collection and I like the Slab album for easy viewing.
I have a 2013 'uncle scam wants you in debt' trillion dollar evasion token in pewder ANACS 69, its my only political piece.
I was thinking about listing it on the BST , but if you want first dibs let me know.
wishing well to those impacted by the storm, Francine hit us directly earlier this month but it was a baby in comparison.

2025 is the 175th anniversary of the bill passing that created the San Francisco US Assay Office.
Any plans to create a 2025 anniversary item?
Or, maybe a MDCCCLI 175th anniversary in 2026?

.
I like those a lot, although I am not planning on doing anything like that for 2025.
I did do something similar in 2020 for my annual Owl Octagon (87 in 1.5-troy-oz 999 silver and 2 in 2.5-troy oz 999 gold):
.
.
And I did just 15 of these in 2016. They had a brass center and copper outer (bi-metallic):
.
.
2026 will be a busy year for making anniversary medals/tokens (USA 250th, Colorado 150th).
I plan to do several things related to that.
Since last year I sourced some 120 Lighthouse 9 slot slab pages in anticipation of FINALLY going thru and organizing my Carr Art & Error Coins.
Here's 8 Carr favorites & a 1971S Off Center Blue Pack Ike. The first Mint Set item my Dad bought direct from the Mint was 71S Blue Pack Ikes. I have like 20 of these Blue Packs for 71: Mom's Mine Dad's & Tammy the Dog. Who was a Very Good Girl !
I've been archiving Errors since 1979 when I grew tired of plugging holes in Whitman albums. Meeting Fred Weinberg & Lonesome John Devine in 1980 or 1982 ANA Mid Year gave me an array of error coin shopping potentials. They had outlandish errors at very affordable prices.
I actually have more than 8 DC favorites, but for fun & to get my show & tell ball rolling here's a page.
Mom was born in 1934 and she passed a couple months before Daniel offered his 1934 $20's.
As Chief told me way back then when we were chatting:
"No One Loves You Like Your Mother"
My buddies really embrace it when their Mom's pass too.
Its such a wonderful sentiment, and the1934 $20 fantasy reminds me of her, the coin that would have been made on her birthyear had the nonsense in 1933 not happened.

Before anyone gets into an uproar, I did not make the one at the far upper right.
PS:
The upper left piece is one that I just mentioned a couple posts ago.
Indeed ! Upper lefty is real in colored example of the coveted one of 15 you just mentioned. Thats why I put the sheet of 9 including it in position 1 out to share as it's purchase inspired me !!!
I was stunned when mine popped up in aftermarket. Sadly I do not own silver example, but maybe someday.
On that day My desire and aftermarket admission price met.
It filled my odd & curious bimetal example acquired since the 90's. Bi Metal inner & outer ring coins are cool on the planet. I own some, but this Carr Bi Metal is my best. I've seen 3 others trade publically over the years, but in person, inhand, and then, away it went home with me...
You never made 1971S BLUE Pack Ike.
Who thinks you did ???
1971S fantasies do not exist as they are real deal, not a CARR fantasy.
My 71S OC IKE is US mint Made, not a Carr Fantasy.
A one of one in 6.8 million normals in existence & legit monetized US Gov't Error.
I love me some flat pack errors as they fit in OGP & made it out...

1948 is not a "Fantasy Date" How were you able to strike this date?
I see it has your initials on the reverse.
Just curious,,,,,,,
These were struck on 1948 Franklins.
So it was sort of like putting a PL finish on an existing coin without changing anything else (except the addition of a "DC" indentifying mark).

1948 is not a "Fantasy Date" How were you able to strike this date?
I see it has your initials on the reverse.
