    Good evening,

    Just a quick one. I can see many of these on ebay but all of them with blue card around the medal.

    Did they make two versions or am I missing something ?

    Siggi :)

    It's stuck at the Franklin Mint, which is a private company in no way associated with the United States Mint. Since it's a private mint, they can and do strike whatever they want whenever they want. It wouldn't suprise me if they had a different card color each week.

    If you’re looking for moon landing coins, try the Ike Dollars and the 1992 Columbus Commemorative Silver Dollar.

    '92 Columbus dollar is a space shuttle. I reckon it commemorates space travel in general, but it wasn't commissioned specifically for the moon landings. Still my favorite modern coin design ever, but still.
    Here's a non-USA one. Local dealer has a few of these but I haven't picked one up yet.
