Description
A beautiful Gem Uncirculated example of this iconic medal
Apollo 11 Flown MS66 NGC Sterling Silver Robbins Medallion,
Serial Number 340, Directly from The Armstrong 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. Sealed in a numbered archival holder, CAG
1000009-006. This lot will include a Statement of Provenance
signed by Neil Armstrong's sons, Rick and Mark.
