Apollo 12 Flown MS68 NGC Sterling Silver Robbins Medallion,
Serial Number 186, Originally from The Potter-Aldrin Family
Collection, CAG Certified. This 32mm sterling silver medal is
one of 262 flown to the moon aboard Apollo 12, November 14-24,
1969, with crewmembers Conrad, Gordon, and 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

and Robbins hallmarks. A fabulous Superb Gem Uncirculated example
