Description
THE GERALD CARR COLLECTION OF ROBBINS MEDALS
Apollo 7 Flown MS61 NGC Silver Robbins Medallion, Serial Number
211, Directly from the Family Collection of Astronaut Gerald Carr,
with His Signed Letter of Authenticity. This 32mm x 24mm
sterling silver medal was one of only 255 flown aboard Apollo 7,
the first manned mission in the Apollo program, October 11-22,
1968, with crewmembers Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele, and Walt
Cunningham. It was an eleven-day Earth-orbital mission, the first
manned launch of the Saturn IB launch vehicle, and the first
three-man American space launch. The obverse of the medal features
the mission insignia depicting a command service module, engine
firing with the trail from that fire encircling a globe and
extending out, symbolizing the Earth-orbital nature of the mission.
The Roman numeral "VII" appears in the South Pacific Ocean and the
crew's names appears on a wide arc at the bottom. The reverse has
the date of the launch, 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.
