Description
A five-dollar gold coin from the West Point Mint, the 2017 (W) Boys Town Centennial Commemorative Five Dollar Gold belongs to the Modern Commemorative Five Dollar Gold (1984-Date) series. The West Point Mint struck 2,939 uncirculated Boys Town five-dollar gold coins dated 2017. The obverse features Father Edward Flanagan, and the reverse displays an open hand holding a young oak growing from an acorn, with THE WORK WILL CONTINUE. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. West Point's facility evolved from a bullion storage depot into a key coin production center, now responsible for many commemorative and precious-metal issues. Struck in 90% gold and 10% alloy, weighing 8.36 grams, 21.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #623271.
