2019 Apollo 11 Commems - Released January 24th, 2019

Excellent!

I just got an email from the Mint about these coins, which surprised me since I figured they would have been sold out long ago. So, what the heck, I just ordered the $5 gold coin, the $1 silver coin and the $0.50 proof clad coin.

My only regret is that I was only 3 years old at the time of the moon landing and don't remember watching it on T.V.

I was very young, but I remember watching the TV broadcast (as grainy as it was!). As were many kids my age, I was big into space at the time. I remember making many trips to the local Gulf gas station to get one of the paper models of the lunar module they offered. I played with them constantly.

Now I can buy commemorative coins from countries that helped with the broadcast. (I haven't, but I could! )

I was two at the time. I don't recall other memories from that time at all. But I do remember my dad had the room in darkness with the curtains drawn for days as he watched it on and off. I remember he said to me, remember this it's history. Strangely, I did remember and it's probably my earliest memory.

Looking good!

I bought the uncirculated dollar solo and the proof half dollar as port of the two coin set (with the Kennedy). I like the proof half so much I added a proof dollar later.

I received mine on June 7th.
