Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 547200, member: 66"]It is a commem I could have supported if it had actually come out in the fiftieth anniversary year, LAST YEAR.  But some six years AFTER the anniversary just makes it a money grab and not a commemorative.  If they could get it for 2012, the fiftieth anniversary of the first manned American flight I could go with that.  Since one of the coins commemorates the astronauts who have died for the program, I could see 2016, the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 1 disaster.  Or 2019 the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.  But they have missed the NASA aniversary and need to drop that.  (I like the design concept and think they should keep that, just change what they are commemorating.)[/QUOTE]
