<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3608803, member: 19463"]Apollo 11 and all of the space milestones were played in the breakroom where I worked so as many of us as could break free could watch the TV. Our bosses, civilian and military, were very supportive of our interest in the subject. At that time I was buying very few ancient coins on the pay of a newlywed Private First Class but had not yet sold off my coins from the time before the draft got me. None of the coins I still have that I owned that day show Apollo. Later acquisitions: </p><p><br /></p><p>Commodus AE as / Apollo leaning on column</p><p>[ATTACH=full]966297[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Gordian III AE25 Marcianopolis / Apollo with snake and column - This coin conveniently bears my catalog number 1969.
