Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Commemorative Coins, Medals, and Space Exploration Memorabilia
This collection features a diverse group of numismatic and historical commemorative items. Included is a Presidents Coin issued by US Gold Commemoratives of New York, featuring high-relief busts of the first 39 US presidents. This die-struck medal is electroplated with 24-karat gold and is presented on its original certificate of authenticity with serial number 47699. The lot contains two white metal commemorative medals with Five Dollar denominations, likely issued by the Marshall Islands. One medal commemorates the 20th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing (1969-1989), depicting an astronaut on the lunar module ladder. The second medal marks the spaceflights of John Glenn, inscribed Friendship 7 1962 and Discovery STS-95 1998. Also included is a 2004 D-Day 60th Anniversary commemorative coin cover, edition 04308, featuring four Guernsey postage stamps and a Guernsey Five Pounds coin with a central red enameled poppy. Accompanying the space-themed items is a group of five enameled lapel pins representing the NASA insignia and Apollo missions XI, XII, XIII, and XIV, as well as a large Apollo 11 crew portrait button.
Condition report:
The items are in uncirculated to extremely fine condition. The white metal medals exhibit light surface toning and minor handling marks. The gold-plated Presidents Coin appears well-preserved within its original packaging. The D-Day coin cover and presentation cards show minor edge wear and age-related discoloration consistent with long-term storage.
