If you own one of these, kindly send me a pm. I have questions about strike and finish quality.

Thanks

I've never heard of this coin. Can someone post some pics and tell us about this coin?

Is this it?

I didn't see a price. It looks like an over priced bullion round. Pass.

First time I have seen this one... I would assume our space coin/medal/patch/letter collector has one though Cheers, RickO

It is....$1995 down to $1795 from Modern Coin Mart. There are better deals out there for it though.

I bet he has real deal medals, not restrikes

That's more than twice melt. Hard pass. These will probably be available close to melt on the secondary market in a few months.

Like I said, there are already much better deals available.

So, they have "FIRST DAY ISSUE" designation for private strikes? Facrissake! What's next?

Interesting. The originals are struck by Robbins Company, of Attleboro, MA while the new ones seem to be struck by Sunshine Minting (SMI) using the original Robbins die.

Thread resurrection alert....It took three tries but I found one I liked. I had a PF70 Matte in hand but disagreed with the PF70 grade and passed. This one had the best eye appeal of the three I examined with my 10x loupe and I'm happy with the PF69 grade received.

Congrats. Nice pickup and a discerning eye!
