[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 1015848, member: 57463"]I have a ton of this stuff, but I am not on top of the details. Does the medal (not coin: medal) have anything on the edge? I do not see any hallmarks, designer's monogram, etc., on the obverse or reverse. The date July 20, 1969 is in the European style 20. 7. 1969. The Lunar Lander looks more like a Voshkod than an American product. Therefore, this is not an American medal, which puts it further beyond me. The eagle's head is flat. You do not get that kind of wear on a medal, usually. A nice, US made Franklin Mint or Medallic Arts Company medal for Apollo might be priced at an optimistic $10, with $3 being the dealer's pain level. I paid about $5 each for everthing I own that size. Unless you can scan the paper better and provide a maker, it is hard to assign much value to this. Tons of junk were made to celebrate perhaps the greatest technical achievement of humanity.[/QUOTE]
