Does anyone have any information on the flight of "Friendship One" commemorative?

I've been asked about it, its value, etc. and am admittedly totally clueless. Thanks for any help with it.

Mike, I am clueless about a good number of things and readily admit it - fortunately, I am often aware of it when I am.

Always better to be smarter than you look than to look smarter than you are....

Love to help you out here, Coinguy... but, between you, me and Irishmike, we don't seem to know shineola.

Who else knows absolutely nothing about this issue? Step forth.

I too, know nothing in this realm....

If someone actually does know something about this coin... I beg you not to tell us. Ignorance is bliss and I'm riding a heavy vibe right now.

I just love these "informational" threads.

Clankeye

I would almost characterize this one as "life changing" at this point, Coinguy.

Knowledge is spewing forth as from a fountain.... It truly is amazing!

This board is great.

Is the Friendship One commemorative a coin?

Have I mentioned that each single link in the anchor chain of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise weighs over 2000 pounds?

Imagine how many coins that would be.

CG, the person wanting to know said "one ounce .999 first edition proof of a coin struck to commemorate the flight of Friendship One."

Mark,

Does he mean Friendship 7? That was one of the Project Mercury capsules. Might have been John Glenn's.

CG - thanks - I will ask that.

IrishMike

ah my sincerest of apologies, that was a serious question, I am so clueless I didn't even know it existed. Thought this was a trick question.
