[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3609697, member: 88829"]I was on summer break after my second year of college and on my summer job on the day of the launch. After the tragedy two years earlier I was hoping the launch would be good, but once they got past the first stage burn I turned back to my work - waiting to see how it was going to go once they reached the moon. The whole Apollo space program was a big deal to me, whether I dropped everything to watch or not. Here is one of the only coins I have that shows the name of Apollo along with his effigy. Same reverse type as the Treb Gall that RC showed, but with a slightly different inscription: Aemilian [ATTACH=full]966562[/ATTACH] IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG APOL CONSERVAT: Apollo stands facing left and holds a branch in his outstretched right hand, and rests his left on a kithara/lyre.
