A beautiful Uncirculated example from the mission commander's own collection
Gemini 8 Flown MS62 NGC Gold-Colored Fliteline Medallion

the zodiacal symbol for Gemini and the Roman numeral VIII. The two
stars are Castor and Pollux, which are in the constellation of
Gemini, and are refracted through a prism to provide the spectrum.
The reverse has a struck "First to Dock in Space" and the engraved
date of the flight, March 16, 1966. Sealed in a numbered archival
holder, CAG 1000013-008. This lot will include a Statement of
