Coin World has an article on space themed coins

I found it interesting that Coin World has the first of a series of articles on space themed coins in their October issue. Here's the link:

Sy, you have the nicest collection of space memorabilia I've ever seen.

Is that your coin?

 

Cool!

[just to break chops.]

Yours?

 

The 1902 quarter eagle is indeed mine.

 

Wow. I remember that sale. You rock man!

 

MY 2

 

Hmm, I think it needs to be mine.

Here's a picture of yours truly and Jim McDivitt with the coin...

 

Does anyone remember the 2004 Florida quarter that was attached to the New Horizons space probe to Pluto, and beyond? Of course, we will never get it back, though. Ha, ha!

 

Actually there were two quarters on opposite sides of the probe to balance each other out. The second quarter was a Maryland. It was there to represent the NASA Goddard center which is in MD.

 

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thank's for the info.

 

Very cool coin and piece of history, science, and numismatics. Thanks for sharing sky.
