Sale of the 2013 Girl Scouts of the USA Centennial Silver Dollar began today February 28! The United States Mint has set the
price at $59.95 for proof quality and $55.95 for uncirculated coins. Councils
will be able to order the commemorative coins directly from the United States
Mint and sell them in their shops.
The coin will be available for all to purchase from the United
States Mint at 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468) and at online. Orders received by 5 p.m. on March 29, 2013, will
take advantage of introductory pricing of $54.95 for proof quality and $50.95
for uncirculated quality. Proofs are specially made
coins distinguished by sharpness of detail and a brilliant, mirror-like
surface. Uncirculated
coins are struck using the same process as circulated coins, but with some
quality enhancements. There is a coin
video you can watch to see how the coin is made and touches on the history
of the Girl Scouts.
