In arcade points that is.... :D I was at the Seaside Heights, NJ boardwalk today for my annual spring break outing to the arcade with my kids. I had a bunch of arcade points from prior years and with what I won today I had enough to get this. The last thing I ever expected was to bring home a coin especially since my interest in coins has been on hold for a few years now. I always wanted this coin though!

So when I was looking at all the cheap, cheesy prizes at the end of the day I saw this gem among the spider rings, taffy, and Snookie sweat shirts. So all in that 350K in points I built up over a few years probably cost me about $400! LOL!!! It's ok though, I go there once a year for fun, not coins. This just turned out to be a nice surprise bonus to bring home. It came with an Apollo 11 arm patch as well.

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    It's been a while since I've to an arcade that is worth a darn. Nice pickup!

    Is the landing site in the background Moon image of the slab?
