Description
Apollo 11 Flown MS66 NGC Sterling Silver Robbins Medallion, Serial Number 357, Directly From The Personal Collection of Michael Collins, Certified and Encapsulated by Collectibles Authentication Guaranty. This 28mm medal was one of 450 flown aboard Apollo 11, the first manned moon landing, July 16-24, 1969, with crewmembers Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. The obverse depicts Collins' early and original concept for the mission insignia with the eagle carrying an olive branch in its mouth. NASA thought the sharp, open talons of the eagle looked too "warlike" and the olive branch, representing peace, was moved to the claws. This is one of, if not the only, major official items that renders the insignia as Collins originally designed it. A terrific opportunity to own an example from his personal collection. The reverse has the dates of the mission, surnames of the crew, and the serial number. Sealed in a numbered archival holder, CAG 2092308-011. Excellent.Auction Info
