Proof 2017-p Boys Town Centennial Modern Commem Dollar
2017-p Boys Town Centennial Modern Commem Dollar $1 Graded GEM++ Proof Deep Cameo By USCG. The non-profit organization Boys Town, dedicated to helping at-risk youth and made famous by the 1938 movie of the same name, is commemorated on a clad half dollar, a silver dollar and a $5 gold coin celebrating the centennial of its founding in 1917. Established by Father Edward Flanagan, the charity’s main focus was to provide a safe refuge for wayward boys. Significantly, Boys Town was open to boys of all races and religions. By 1921, Boys Town had more than 100 residents, and Father Flanagan moved his facility to Overlook Farm just outside of Omaha to continue expanding his mission.
