Description
Apollo 12 Flown MS65 NGC Silver Robbins Medallion Originally from the Personal Collection of Moonwalker Buzz Aldrin, Serial Number 187, with LOA. This 32mm sterling silver medal was one of 262 flown to the moon aboard Apollo 12, November 14-24, 1969, with crewmembers Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon, and Alan Bean. The obverse of the medal features the mission insignia depicting a clipper ship arriving at the moon (it was an all-Navy crew), trailing fire and flying the U.S. flag. There are four stars in the background, one each for the three astronauts who flew the mission and one for Clifton Williams who was killed on October 5, 1967, during a training flight. He had been assigned to the back-up crew for what would be the Apollo 9 mission and would have most likely been assigned as lunar module pilot for Apollo 12. The reverse has the dates of the mission along with the serial number and the sterling and Robbins hallmarks. Included is the original plastic case with the numbered sticker on the bottom. This Gem Uncirculated example was gifted by Buzz to his sister Fay Ann during the time of the Apollo missions.A Letter of Authenticity signed by Mrs. Potter's son (the executor of her estate) will accompany this lot.
