boy scout proof - 223,310, unc - 107,292, total 330,602

 

Unc. and Proof BSA coins are not "Future Mint Modern commemorative coins" hence this thread... They are present Mint commemorative coins and both versions are presently, yet, on sale as of this writing.

 

I'm really excited about the Medal of Honor coin. I hope they don't goof up with a lousy design. For the reverse, I think a picture of the medal itself is a no-brainer. I don't have any idea what they might put on the obverse.

 

I am interested in what the design will be like as well.

I am curious, are Medals of Honor different designs for various branches of the military?

 

Wikipedia is such an incredible resource. I just learned something new (the medal appearances do vary according to branch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor

 

I thought that might be the case! just wasn't sure if the different designs I'd seen were for branches or variations on one medal over the years. I suspect we may either see the overall star design and a winged eagle incorporated in a simplified version or a facsimile of each branch's medal on one side of the Silver dollar with a simpler version on the gold $5. Maybe edge lettering will be used on the silver dollar if there is a call for a lot of device lettering. I am very eager to have a new $5 gold commem forthcoming.

 

Your description sounds like a reasonable guess. I think it could be a really beautiful design. Too bad we have to wait, I guess about another year to see it. I too will by the two piece set (or maybe they will only be sold individually).

 

boy scouts unc is out from mint site.

 

Actually, it is still on the US Mint web site, it has merely been moved to the No Longer Available page

modern commemorative tips.

Excellent article except the author makes mention of a 30 day return policy at the mint. We all know that this policy has been changed to 7 days....

 

I'm not really sure what the author is trying to accomplish with this article if not to help boost sales for the US Mint alone. It is curious that the entire piece is about modern US Mint commemorative coins, but is flanked with a majority of images of other countries commemorative coins and makes no mention of the Euro, Australian, Britain, Austrian an other commemorative programs or where to get them.

The article smartly avoids any notion of 'investment' that so many people continue to fall into the pit of dispair over with US Mint commemorative coins. And rightly the author says to collect for this sole reason:

The article is far from enlightening and really offers nothing new to anyone who has been around collecting and knows a few things about modern US Mint commemorative coins for even a short while.

At best this is a beginners overview.

 

I agree. I too was wondering about all of the foreign commem's being pictured and nary a mention.....

 

i rather not buying foreign bullion coins for investment. i bought some simply of its beautiful design.

 

But this thread is about future mint modern commemorative coins, not just bullion or world bullion.
