Was there an announcement for an anniversary set that I missed or is the edge lettered versions the only thing the mint is doing?
If there is anything more then just the edge lettering, I missed it as well, I don't believe they are.

What medal? I need these and the W for my 2 albums so I'll be getting 2 each. Just hope they fit in the holes well without reeding.
This one is on my to-get list. I usually get a proof ASE each year (the only thing I buy from the Mint). Picked up an '86 proof on eBay last week to go with it. Too bad the 30th anniversary is being observed in such a low-key way. Guess the Mint is too busy with those lovely commemorative gold bullion coins for the Merc, SLQ and walking liberty. (Obvious sarcasm is mine).
I'm kind of disappointed that the only commemorative is going to be the edge lettered ones. I really enjoyed the other anniversary sets and figured the mint would do something more exciting. I believe he is talking about the following: http://catalog.usmint.gov/american-liberty-2016-silver-medal-UH9.html
Still no word on a Burnished ASE or an annual set that would include one as well. Maybe the proof will be the only offering this year. Surprised that they didn't do a gold and silver combo. Still time, though.
