This should be easy. The moon's surface on the convex side, a transformer on the concave side. Or the moon's surface on the convex side, and Pink Floyd on the dark side...

Piece o' cake. :wink:

    Omigosh! Has it been 50 years already?? :/

    I'd like to see what Chuck Daugherty could do with the design, too.

    Unfortunately, the odd designs of these coins are going to cause marketing problems for them.

    Why can't they just make silver dollars and half dollars?

    The moon landing skeptics are going to have a good laugh.

    If Dan Carr designs it maybe the mint can produce something worth buying

    Dan has his 2019 Apollo prototype design overstruck on sac dollars that sold out a month or so ago. They're not curved though. I hope he wins too!

    The more you VAM..

    Carr could make dies to flatten the curved coins!
