    Only 13,819 left . Get yours before they are gone. :)

    Mine, too, supposedly

    I'll second this......especially the 'supposedly' part

    Supposed delivery by 9pm tonight. It's not even in my state yet.

    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

    honestly thought the text I received from the US Mint was for a release for the extra 2025 US Army 250th, then realized I got a ASE with the laser privy. I also have the US Army privy, What have I done!

    Almost didn’t get mine today . The wife saw mail truck zipping up and down the road but didn’t stop at our mailbox. She flagged him down and said where is our package. He said he didn’t have anything for us. Almost an hour later another truck showed up with the package. He said he was a supervisor and he took the package off the other truck because that guy was not delivering “them”
    Stealing mint packages or just not doing his job?????

    I miss the days I only had to “wait until 3:00”

    Sure it is! Until they lift the HHL, and whatever is left is gone in a few minutes. THEN you can stick a fork in it.

    They'll be gone in minutes then for sure if other issues are any indication.

    I like the Laser privy silver eagles.
    The V75,Army,Navy,Marine privies are all military, and I like that.
    but I also like the Laser privy silver eagles because they are kind of a stand alone. and has that industrial feel.
    just my 2 cents

    Funny thing though - ats was over 13k this morning and I caught HHL lifting right as it happened, and now ats is 0. It's like they zeroed out the stock instead of selling.

    One or more of the TV hucksters likely made a back dock deal for what was left this morning. Or, it could have been for an audit to reconfirm what is still available. You choose the theory that suits your fancy.

    Honestly, there is not a lot to make up here. Who got what is an open question. What is irrefutable is that they were available to retail, one at a time with a HHL of 1, but were not when the HHL was lifted.

    Maybe another 20K magically pop up at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Maybe not. But we know 13K did not go in a nanosecond on the web to retail, 99 at a time.

    Which is kind of to be expected at this point. They are going out of their way to allow people to buy them one at time for weeks on end. And are taking extraordinary measures to block the bots and the buying clubs.

    What they are not doing, however, is allowing the flippers among us to get quantity. Those seem to be going to Big Boys. Which is honestly fine with me.

    As far as I am concerned, they owe us a fair shot to buy "hot" issues at the issue price. They don't owe us a lucrative flip.

    I have no problem with the Mint directing those to their best customers, who buy everything in quantity. Not just "hot" guaranteed flips.

    These things sure didn't hold up very well at all. I saw them on ebay as low as the 138.00-149.00 price range with free shipping today for mint sealed ones. I wonder with shipping and sellers fees if they're even barely breaking even on them?

    Only costs $5 to ship them. Seller fees are $12-$20. Leaves you a health 25% ish profit

    The S proof ASE did not have the HHL of 1 (it was initially 10). But same result. The Hucksters are pushing the latest hot ASE gimmick. They know at least 100K of us will soak that many up the first day, in order to keep their sets going. Flip the 69’s at break even, mark ,up the 70s by 200-300 percent, then move on to something else.

    One has to think ahead about the later releases coming. Will the mint raise prices due to the surge in cost of future planchets? If so, these ASE’s may look like a bargain investment vehicle, as well as a collection filler-extender.

    Buying from the mint has other advantages. No fakes. Can’t say that about all the aftermarket sources.
