Have you got a couple hundred extra K floating around? You can bid on these 6 gold plates, totaling ~ 6,015 grams of 24kt gold (roughly 193 troy oz.), that have each flown for 69 months in space. The GSA auction they are in closes on January 22.
Just as an FYI, while there might be a bit of a premium due to the fact that they flew in space, realistically the main value of these items is in their gold.

...if one of those had been knocked off and had landed in your backyard.....
Buy it all up and then either melt it or take it as is and part it out into 1 gram lots. Then sell each lot for about $250 as authentic NASA space flown 24kt gold!

And Ron Landis. He could carve some dies depicting the satellite and whatever else artistic that would go with it and they could strike and sell them like they did the Brasher restrikes.

The plates' scrap gold value as of the same day was $251,365.64, thus they sold for a premium of $14,241.36.

Fewer than the number of seconds it took you to write that question.
