Celebrate the Centennial of the Boy Scout organization with this Commemorative Silver Dollar, struck by the United States Mint.
This 2010 Boy Scouts Commemorative Silver
Dollar is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 2010 Boy Scouts
Silver Dollar was struck to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Boy
Scouts of America, the largest youth organization in the United
States. This BU version of the2010 Boy Scouts Dollar was minted at the
Philadelphia Mint. The 2010 Boy Scouts of America Dollar is
composed of 90% Silver and 10% Copper with a diameter of 38.1mm and a
weight of 26.73 grams. The obverse of the 2010 Boy Scouts
Dollar features a Cub Scout in the foreground with a Boy Scout and
female Venturer in the background saluting. The reverse of the 2010
Boy Scouts Dollar features the Boy Scouts of America's universal emblem.
Each coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, just as was when it left the U.S. Mint and presented in the original government packaging.
The obverse (heads side) design depicts a Cub Scout in
the foreground with a Boy Scout and female Venturer in the background
saluting. This design represents the Boy Scouts of America of today, as
the organization has recognized the need to include other programs for
younger boys (cub scouts) and older boys and girls (venturers),
reflecting the great diversity of our nation. It is a dramatic
representation of how the Boy Scouts of America has evolved over the
past century to form a strong foundation of leadership, service, and
community for all the youth of America.
The reverse (tails) design features the Boy Scouts of America's universal emblem.
Both designs were approved by Secretary of the Treasury Timothy F.
Geithner on September 16, 2009, at the recommendation of the United
States Mint, after consultation with the Boy Scouts of America and the
U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, as well as review by the Citizens Coinage
Advisory Committee.
