Boy Scouts of America Coin

Having earned the coin collecting merit badge more than 35 years ago, I will be purchasing a proof and an uncirculated Boy Scout silver dollar for my collection.

I was a scout for almost 11 years, and was the first in my troop to earn the coin collecting merit badge. Later I was a counselor for the merit badge. I'm not buying any of them. I've had a falling out with them over their discrimination against homosexuals and atheists. I still like scouting and support it on a local level, but not on a national level.

 

Put me down for 5 or 10 proofs and a couple of uncirculated ones.

 

These will easily sell out. I am surprised that the Mint is not putting together some special educational set for the BSA commemorative. TC

 

I never heard about the atheist discrimination. Was this at the same time as the homosexual policy?

I think I'll raise my order to 3 proofs and two uncircs; I'll frame one for my Eagle Scout Dad. Coin Collecting was my third MB (Stamp Collecting and Architecture were first and second.)

I'm in even tough I'm not an Eagle Scout.

 

Two Eagle scout sons = 2 coins (most likely one UNC, one proof)

 

Does the first son get the proof?!

 

I will not be buying.

 

I'll buy some UNC's and one proof for a Nephew who is a Eagle Scout. I think this will sell-out in LT 2 days.

 

Two Eagle scout sons = 2 coins (most likely one UNC, one proof)

Most likely, it will be the second son who gets the proof as he tried to put together a 20th century type set (which used to be required for the Coin Collecting Merit Badge) with as many proof coins as he could afford.

 

Not to worry. :thumb:I'll buy 2 for everyone on here who doesn't want one. It will be a quick sellout, I believe.:kewl:

 

MARCH 23rd.................................OH YEAHHHHHHH !!!!!

Pitney Bowes will crash at 12:00:01...................:headbang:

 

How many you getting chief?

 

Call them on the phone it is a lot faster!!

I think I will be getting 55. 30 Proofs and 25 UNC.

 

100 each PF/UNC (max. allowed)....................if I'm lucky....:eating:

 

I'm thinking a household limit of 5...Because the coin is meant to get in the hands of young boys.

 

Dear chief- I hate you for two reasons:
