General Coin Information
The 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Commemorative Uncirculated Coin was released by the United States Mint on March 23, 2010. Each one dollar face value coin was designed to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Scouting organization in America.
The Mint had only been authorized to strike up to 350,000 of the coins across all product options and demand for the strikes was strong from their initial days of release. A sell-out did occur for the Boy Scout related coins.
Each coin is struck from 90% silver and 10% copper with three youth members of the Boy Scouts featured on its obverse and the Boy Scout emblem on its reverse. A surcharge on the sale of each coin has been authorized by Congress and will be used to aid the scouting efforts in hard-to-serve locations.
The Mint also released a proof version of the coin.
