The United States Mint has revealed approved designs for next year's 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar that is tentatively scheduled for release in March 2010.

The US Mint presented 17 obverse (heads side) and 5 reverse designs for consideration. From those, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy F. Geithner approved the two designs that will be used, according to a Mint statement released last week. (See images of the five recommended BSA design candidates.)

The US Mint will produce a maximum mintage of 350,000 Philadelphia struck collector proof and uncirculated $1s to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).

In addition to the annual Mint sets, America the Beautiful Quarters and the Presidential Dollars -- to include the Abraham Lincoln $1 coin release in November, the two silver commemoratives stand out. The American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar and Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar are set for respective launches in February and March.
