The long-awaited Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Commemorative Dollar went on sale today at the U.S. Mint Web site.? Priced at $39.95 for the Proof version, and $33.95 for the Uncirculated (burnished finish) version, these large diameter (38.1 mm) coins are struck in 90% silver.
The obverse ("heads" side) depicts a representative member of the three main branches of the BSA - a Cub Scout, a Venturer (the girls' branch), and a Boy Scout, all making their branch-specific salutes.? The reverse depicts the BSA universal emblem and includes the famous Boy Scout motto Be Prepared among the more usual national slogans.
Mintage is limited to 350,00 specimens across both the Proof and Uncirculated options combined, and surcharges from the sale of these coins will benefit the National Boy Scouts of America Foundation.
