Week Twenty

 

Coin News: Boys Town Commemorative on it’s way!

On September 15th, the Boys Town Commemorative Coin Act was passed by the House. This coin would celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Boys Town (1917-2017), a nonprofit dedicated to keeping families together. The bill still has to pass the Senate and signed by the President, but it seems to have a better chance of making the cut now! No proposed images are available at the moment.

 

Coin of the Week/Rooting Through the Lost Art: Lady Liberty on Coins

All over the world, Lady Liberty was once used as the depiction of freedom and equality. Today, she is hardly ever seen on any coins. But in her heyday, she was on a lot of coins from around the world. Here are some of my personal favorites:

High Relief ASG

Philippines 1904 Peso PCGS PR63 obv

Canada Liberty

Sorry, this week’s post was short. I will be gathering my thoughts to make the next post better.
