An occasional "Moon Shot" used to be posted here. I always thought they were funny for some reason. I haven't seen one posted here in quite a while so here's one.

Good one. They used to be called satellite photos.....but yeah, that one is way past the Van Allen belt.
got the whole scanner bed in that one
Collector, occasional seller
That's not a moon shot. That's a shot of Alpha Centarui from a Wal-Mart telescope!
Van Allen Belt? Is that where Morgan dollars come from? Or is that the Mallis Nebula?
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
Yikes!!!! Could it be any smaller? They even included a magnifying view which barely helps. I guess they don't want you to really see what's going on with that coin!!!!!!
I did make out the Yale Stamp. Easier to see Saturn's Cassini division though.
Epic moon shot example!

Well, some that I've seen look like they've been pulled out of ... uh ... never mind.

Is that machine doubling on the obverse?
And I thought I took bad coin photos.....
"Across the gulf of space on the planet Mars..."
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
Listing has been pulled..... I assume it was a picture of a coin that was so far distant, that it could only be confirmed as a metallic looking disc....
And yes, I have seen a few of those... Cheers, RickO
Like the coin, the listing is now way out there, not to be seen again.
