Description
Ex. Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 11 Flown MS68 NGC Sterling Silver Robbins Medallion,
Serial Number 23, Originally from The Potter-Aldrin Family
Collection, CAG Certified. 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 it was meant to be by the astronaut
designer. The reverse has the dates of the mission, surnames of the
crew, and the serial number. A terrific Superb Gem Uncirculated
example of this iconic medal. Sealed in a numbered archival holder,
CAG 2110694-008.Robbins medallions have historically been among the most coveted collectibles in the Space Exploration hobby. An excellent opportunity to obtain a low serial number example flown aboard the first manned lunar landing and owned by the mission Lunar Module Pilot..
