Rare Apollo 11 Robbins medal, serial number 217. This is one of the new coins made from the so-called ''flown medal'' and is one of 450 newly-designed medals. Front of coin has ''Apollo 11'' engraved above the mission insignia of an eagle landing on the moon's surface carrying an olive branch. Verso has three dates for the launch, ''July 16, 1969'', landing, ''July 20, 1969'', and return, ''July 24, 1969''. For the moon landing missions, three blank fields were included for the launch, lunar landing, and return dates and later engraved, as is the case here. Verso also has the ''217'' serial number engraved with each astronaut's last name. Coin measures 1'' and is made of sterling silver, housed in its original ''Robbins Company'' plastic box with an ''217'' sticker on the bottom. Fine. With an LOA from Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert's sister.
