Only a Couple Hundred Struck and Given to Members who Worked on the Apollo 11 Project
“That’s one small step for man. One Giant Leap for Mankind.”
We’ve all heard the words, and 50 years ago today was the day those words were spoken into the cosmos upon man’s first exploration to the Moon.
NGC recently announced that one of the Gold Robbins Medals that belonged to Neil Armstrong which flew on that historic flight sold for $2,055,000. Link here:https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/7590/gold-robbins-medal-realized/
Now, this Medal was NOT space flown, but they were specially struck in gold and only given to people who WORKED on the Apollo 11 project. People that were all a part of one of the most historic moment’s in World history.
The obverse of the Medal depicts an Astronaut, presumably Neil Armstrong, boldly facing forward carrying the American flag. The date JULY 20, 1969 is seen in front, with the lunar landscape, lander and the Earth all in the background.
The reverse has the name of the three Astronauts who made that historic journey (Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin Aldrin), Neil’s famous quote as he stepped out into the Sea of Tranquility, APOLLO 11 and a depiction of the slingshot approach the spacecraft took to the Moon.
It is struck from over a half an ounce of gold (18.17g). This could be the Finest we’ve seen of the issue and a nice piece to commemorate this milestone moment exactly 50 years ago today…
