llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 6:49 pm I hadn't heard of Boys Town before this post; here in Chicago Boys town is a neighborhood, different from the Boys Town in Nebraska so this could be a source of confusion as well. Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 12:04 pm Why not? Gold is standard for the commemoratives. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 2:43 pm I do not know about that, to me, means I will not be buying. Not until gold comes down to $250 an ounce.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 07/02/2015 01:08 am There will be silver ones too, just like all the other recent commems: Quote: [The bill] Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, 350,000 $1 silver coins, and 300,000 half-dollar clad coins to commemorate the centennial of the founding of Father Flanagan's Boys Town.

PennyPiggy Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 07/02/2015 01:49 am I'd just give em the silver and be done with it. It's a good organization but its taking the lead role that year in US commemoratives. Its just me but I'm not getting excited over Boys Town highlighting that year's offering.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 1:30 pm To each his or her own, I suppose. I lived in Omaha as a kid, not more than 5 miles from Boys Town, and visited often. So I'm excited for it. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 12:24 am To be clear, I was referring to the gold version. The silver is well within my reach.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 9:36 pm Apparently this one is going to happen. President Obama signed it on July 6th, just a couple days after my last post. Looking forward to the design candidates. http://www.coinnews.net/2015/07/08/...ns-for-2017/ Report this Post to the Staff

howell1018 Pillar of the Community United States 730 Posts	Posted 10/17/2015 10:59 am I'm a bit late to this party, but I gotta say.....the people saying the coin wouldn't be popular because the subject isn't well known. Really? Do you not watch old movies from the 30's? Spencer Tracy? Mickey Rooney? Little Petey? Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 08/13/2016 12:50 am I guess this one passed. I may schedule a trip back to Omaha to see if I remember anything. http://mintnewsblog.com/2016/08/des...d-august-23/ Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/13/2016 9:31 pm I wonder if they will do anything special at boys town, when the coin is released. My daughter still lives in that area .... Report this Post to the Staff
