The reverse design of the Lions Club coin looks interesting:

Definitely meh on all designs

 

The 'Boys Town' is the only offering to have the gold $5? I might be able to justify buying both the proof and uncirculated versions.

I like the designs.......

 

They look more like medals to me.

 

The lions club reverse could be nice if executed well, overall though not a commemorative year that excites me.

 

I will be buying the clad and silver halves and dollars for each issue in order to keep my post-1981 commemorative collection complete. My last gold purchase was the 1988 Olympics.

 

They both suck, but will have to get them for my collection. Wish they would replicate al the old commem's and issue those.

 

Makes me glad I don't collect moderns.
