[QUOTE="robec, post: 1528730, member: 19094"]I was fortunate enough to have photographed a few of SkyMan's space memorabilia, but just a small portion of his growing collection. Gus Grissom carried a roll of Roosevelt dimes with him when he became our second man in space. This occurred when he flew Mercury-Redstone 4 or Liberty Bell 7 into space for his 15 minute flight July 21, 1961.

He made three revolutions around the earth. This time instead of a roll of dimes, he carried just this one. In front of Roosevelt's chin you will see where Grissom carved GT3.
