Apollo 11 Token

I was only 15 years old when this event took place. we lived out in the country at the time and I had a magnifying glass for looking at the stars. I remember looking at the neat shapes in the moon as well. On this mission, with the Apollo 11, I went outside at night too look at the moon, and I was surprised.
I could not see the men on the moon or what they were doing, but what really caught my eye was the straight and steady line of the Apollo capsule as it went across the surface of the moon. That was a site for 15-year-old to behold, and I’ve never forgotten it. I never will as it was incredible. So here’s a token that I recently picked up in the collection I bought to commemorate this event.

Thanks! If you have some, please post them.

 

I was ten. Only time I ever saw a tear in my grizzled old granddads eye.

 

It sure was an exciting time and we were young.

 

Are you saying that you saw the Apollo capsule transiting the moon.

 

I was ten when they landed on the moon. I remember the neighbor coming over to watch as she did not have a TV.

 

You got it. It was just a black dot that moved straight across the face of the moon in a straight line at a steady pace.

 

There are people that didn't believe it happened. Thought it was done in a movie theater.

 

They are all Doubters!

 

A colorized 5 ounce copper round. Nice!!

 

here's one of my Apollo 11 tokens. I also have 12, 13, 14 tokens.
My 11 appears the same as @alurid

 

No way your eye is going to resolve a 33 ft object at 1.3 billion feet away. Not even as a black dot

 

I had my telescope so it was easy to see. My apologies as I said magnifying glass.
