2010 Boy Scouts Coin and Disabled Vet Commemorative Prices Revealed
The United States Mint has announced introductory and regular pricing for the two commemorative coins scheduled for release this year.
The US Mint price notice was published in late January by the Federal Register, which is the official daily source for rules, proposed rules, and notices of government agencies and organization.
The two silver 2010 commemorates include:
- American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Coins -- Release date of February 25, 2010
- Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollars -- Release date of March 23, 2010
Both coins have the same specifications of: 90 percent silver, 10 percent copper, a nominal weight of 27.730 grams and a diameter of 1.500 inches or 38.100 mm.
2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar Coin Designs
US Mint Director Ed Moy on Saturday, August 22, unveiled the 2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar Coin designs.
Meant to honor those who were permanently disabled while serving in the United States Military, the coins will have a face value of $1 and contain 90% silver.
The obverse (head side) bears an image of the legs and boots of three disabled veterans. A pair of crutches is visible along with the inscriptions 'THEY STOOD UP FOR US,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' '2010' and 'LIBERTY.'
Disabled Veterans Silver Dollar Commemorative Coins Likely
Commemorative coins honoring disabled American veterans are almost assured with recent action in the Senate.
House bill H.R. 634, titled American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Coin Act, calls for a total of 350,000 silver dollar proof and uncirculated coins in 2010.
The bill easily passed in May of 2007 by a House vote of 416 to 0. It was quickly moved into the Senate for consideration, but in typical legislative fashion it settled soundly in committee awaiting either complete and forever forgetfulness, or action. Action won-over on May 20.
