This morning on CSN Mint they have MS-70 First Strike by ANCS for $899.95. They say they only have 643, will go fast at this price so you better act fast.

Mines came in last week. It's on the way to NGC for grading. Hoping it's a PF70. I am now waiting on my Sacagwea coin which shipped today.
There is another laser engraved AE proof coin coming out 8/20 and then the next day the American Liberty High Relief Gold coin comes out. I plan on getting both as well as the navy and Marine AE when they come out. I'd like to flip the whole set.
looking forward to 2026 with the Mercury dime gold coin and the and the standing liberty gold coin.

the sac in the ogp is going for 2700 on ebay. the army is 200
the most profit will be made on advanced releases and first day of issue then first strikes and early releases. for me it is better to flip raw and save the grading fess and potential decrease in ebay offers
i'd also flip each as they are released. you're not going to get more for the set, and ebay prices might come down while waiting for others

My late-in-the-game order only went into "processing" early this morning or overnight. My guess is that they accepted an overage of backorders and will cancel as necessary to reach the 100,000 mintage.

Most likely. However, they did once manage to oversell the mintage when they accidentally put their overage for sale. If they shipped 105,000...

I would pay as much only if it were autographed by Fr. Guido Sarducci.

Why grade it? It’s a 69 or 70 and looks just fine in its natural state.
I'm leaving on just leaving it alone I think it does look great in the original packaging.
A graded 70 FS will be wurrh more but not looking to sell si no point.
The OGP is nice
For symmetry...should have put the privy dead center on the sun...just my humble opinion!
But I'm' sure that would have violated some obscure federal statute!
Or should have moved it up slightly and to the right...so that it was better aligned vertically with the designer's initials and "In God"
But what do I know?
Quick shot in box....

I just added some more photos to my original post for those still waiting on theirs.
Anybody still not shipped yet?
Still backordered. I ordered mine like July 2nd.
Me either- I guess there is some security in knowing that I’m not alone
Hey Raufus thanks for sharing the nice pictures !! Nice to see some 'in the wild' photos !
Lucky no milk spots !
I agree that most ASE on average are MS 69/70 or pf69/70.
One company online that specializes in AGE has a policy of not grading them for this reason.
Unless you include this 25ap in a batch order with other grading requests, it probably is not worth the trouble and hoops.
My July 10th order is on 'backorder'. Maybe I will get by year's end. haha
Mine came in today. Keeping it unopened in the box for now.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Is he even still alive?

Yes, he's 82 --> Probably a coin collector too!

Give it some time. The milk takes a while to curdle.
Luckily, proof coins seem a little less susceptible to milk spots.

My Day 1 order has shipped...

Honestly, I have coins graded with both NGC & PCGS. My coin holders are NGC and fit the graded coins fine. The PCGS coins don't.
Also, I have an account with NGC and find it efficient for me to go through their submission process. Definitely no knock on PCGS.
I can't wait for someone to make a gold-plated version of the golden dollar just to confuse us more.
That " someone" is busily on that task in China!
someone in the us will get some of the 1 billion 2000s, plate them with gold then sell them as a valuable commemoratives
Not mine, but…
Day 1 order finally processing this morning, hallelujah! RGDS!!
P.S Bring on the USMC!! SMPR!!!

Already been done
OK...heads up for later orders...my subsequent order on 7/2 also moved to processing this AM
I wonder if there will be be a type 1 and a type 2 Privy?
Pinehurst on eBay.......
....so secondary prices are plunging...NOT!
My order went to processing today also.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Also saw order status flip to processing today too, along with the Mint officially charging my PayPal account.
One of my orders went to processing this morning
Based on Pinehurst ask? That data point is meaningless.
The price is holding. Check back next year.
How come there isn’t an Air Force ?
these are 250th anniversary
ebay solds are holding up!
Air Forces were under the Army until Sep 18 1947 when it became a separate service. No 250th anniversary for us.....
USAF veteran 1984-2005
Retracted.
@MsMorrisine and @PapiNE answered the question faster than I did.
Here’s my Army Privy ASE…..post yours.
My July 2nd order shows Processing this am.
So much for 100,000..........
