MissingArrow 12 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The design pictured on the press release page of the National Council website IS NOT the design of the actual quarter. That image was created by a coin collecting news site to complement the story, and has been used by many other sites to accompany the press release. "The design will be selected by the Secretary of the Treasury after consultation with Chief Scout Executive Bob Mazucca and the Commission of Fine Arts. The selected coin design will also be reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee." There is no pre order set up as of yet. As it gets closer to the release date you will probably find various ways to pre-order it from different sources. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 726 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Since it is minted by the federal government US Mint, I'm thinking that will be the only place to order it. Link to post Share on other sites
srisom 10 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It will be a coin, but not a quarter. $10 of the cost of the coin will go to BSA, so actual cost to individuals could be 3 or 4 times that. The mint wants to make a nice profit also. Link to post Share on other sites
MissingArrow 12 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My apologies on stating quarter above... I was watching an infomercial for the state quarters set (limited quantities only $99.95 including the $29.99 "copyrighted case") earlier today when I posted my response and substituted "quarter" for "coin" subconsciously. I'd go back and edit however I don't think that option exists anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Pack212Scouter 10 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I saw the add too and thought it was pretty neet. Since minting will not start until Feb 2010, I would guess it will be closer to then to order. As for cost, this is just a guess, but typical 90% US Silver Dollars go for about $19.99 from the mint. Add in the $10 premium and we're probably looking at the $30-$40 range. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddude 10 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi Any new info on wen and wear we can get the Boy Scouts of America Silver Dollar Centennial Commemorative Coin ? I would like to get 4 of them thanks Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 726 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 If you go to the US Mint website, you can sign up for news releases and be advised when it is released. I'm guessing it will either be in conjunction with the BSA Birthday (Feb) or the Jambo. If the final design is anything like the stamp, I'll pass. Link to post Share on other sites
Frank17 10 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The girl scouts are getting one too (they just have to wait a few more years): http://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/2009/10/girl_scout_coin.php Link to post Share on other sites
