The Boy Scouts commemorative dollar coin is so popular that the uncirculated version of the coin has sold out!
The United States Mint has been selling the Boy Scouts dollar coin to a very receptive audience.
While coin collectors make up the core of any commemorative coin fan base, many non-collectors purchase commemorative coins as gifts.
The United States government has allowed the U.S. Mint to make:
- A total of 350,000 Boy Scout commemorative silver dollars
- Most are proofs
- 107,000 of the coins were made in uncirculated
The U.S. Mint still has proof versions of the Boy Scouts commemorative dollar for sale.
