Apollo 15 Flown Two Dollar Bill with Signatures
<B>Apollo 15 Flown and Signed Two Dollar Bill, also Signed on the Presentation Certificate.</B></I> NASA's ninth manned Apollo mission and its fourth Moon mission was manned by David Scott (Commander), Alfred Worden (Command Module Pilot), and James Irwin (Lunar Module Pilot). Apollo 15 was the first of the "J Missions" - longer duration stays on the moon with a greater emphasis on scientific exploration and experimentation than on previous missions. Apollo 15 was also the first moon mission to utilize the Lunar Rover, allowing them to travel much further from the Lunar Module lander than had previously been possible. Offered here is a two dollar bill that was carried aboard Apollo 15 during its trip to the moon and back. Framed and mounted to an overall size of 9.5 x 9.25" with the signatures of the three Apollo 15 astronauts penned both on the verso of the bill (bold and dark), as well as on the mount below the bill (somewhat faded). In very fine condition. At one time, this item hung on Jim Irwin's office wall.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
