Description
Apollo 13 Flown MS68 NGC Silver Robbins Medallion, Serial Number 392, Directly from the Family Collection of Astronaut Gerald Carr, with His Signed Letter of Authenticity. A stunning 32mm sterling silver medal. Due to the last-minute substitution of Swigert for Mattingly and the problems that prohibited Apollo 13 from accomplishing its mission, all of the original flown medallions were melted down. This is one of 404 newly-designed sterling silver medallions that were struck from the flown metal. The design features the mission insignia depicting the name of the mission, three of Apollo's chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan "Ex Luna, Scientia" ("from the moon, knowledge"). The reverse features the names of the crewmembers, the modules, Aquarius (lunar) and Odyssey (command), the engraved dates of launch and return, the serial number, and the sterling and Robbins hallmarks. Included is the original plastic case with the numbered sticker on the bottom as well as a signed LOA on Carr's personal letterhead. A Superb Gem Uncirculated example.Auction Info
