I Love Space Themed Coins

There’s a man on the moon too I think. I’ve got meat on the grill so can’t double check.

I’m kinda in the same boat. Lol.

 

Here is the 1988 uncirculated version.

 

Well. I have searched high and low for my Marshall Islands Discovery coin. I can’t find it anywhere. What I have discovered is I need a better organization system for my collection.

 

On the bright side when you find it it will be like a new purchase lol

 

Here are pictures of a Apollo-COHO metal. Its 2.75 inches by .875 inches. I've only seen 1 other and it also belongs to a space nut. I was part of the NASA team that supported this mission when I worked at a tracking station in North Carolina. I spent 42 years working for NASA and loved every minute.

 

That is so cool! It's also amazing that you helped support the ASTP mission!

 

Great show-n-tell everyone. Thanks for the memories.

 

My favorite: (Sorry, I'm not good at sizing. Apollo 11 Footprint in gold.

 

Just picked this one up...

 

I'm sure that @Skyman has something to add.

 

I've been very interested in the USSR space programme - still searching for the gold medals for Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova

 

1988 Young Astronauts set. One bronze and one silver.

 

That thing is amazeballs! The detailed vehicle on top of the medal is really something. Any idea how many of those they made?

 

Apollo 11, Franklin Mint



Gemini 1st U.S. spacewalk, Franklin Mint

 

Here is my 1776 - 1976 American Freedom Train coin with a minute man and an astronaut on the reverse.

 

Great bunch of coins and medals and memorabilia! I'm so motivated that I'll see what I can find.

Poland - 1978 20-zlotych - someone more knowledgeable or motivated than I can explain what it commemorates.


Here are some tokens or commemoratives I accumulated over the years.





Very relevant to "space" but I don't know if entirely relevant to this thread.

 

Some Great coins and medallions everyone!!!

I've got a couple space themed coins, but they've already been posted... Apollo 11 50th 5 oz., Ikes, SBAs (which use essentially the same reverse design as Ikes). I really enjoy space themed coins/medallions, but I collect enough other stuff that I generally don't buy them. For space based coins/medallions I try and get mission flown items. Here's an Apollo 7 flown Robbins medallion, which is roughly the size of a half dollar.

 

That's amazing. I seem to find a bunch of unflown Robbins Medallions for sale from the shuttle era but often the flown one's are hard to come by.
