I recently inherited a coin collection, which at first glance, contains mostly common coins. He was big into commemorative coins, with a special interest in the moon landing. I found this coin below which I am having a hard time tracking down. I wondered if someone on these forums might be able to provide some additional information.

If there's a better forum to post this in, please redirect me!

Thank you.

Welcome to CCF!

What you have is a silver round struck by a private company; it is not a coin struck under the authority of a government.

Generic silver rounds very often sell for just a little over the spot price of the precious metal they contain.

Apollo 11, however, is a very popular theme and, with its 50th anniversary approaching, your piece should sell for more than a generic round as collector interest is increasing.

If you go to sell the round, I would look to get at least $25 to $30 for it (if not a little more - there is one currently listed on ebay as a "Buy it Now" for $32.49). It's likely, however, that if you try to sell it to a coin dealer/gold & silver buyer/pawn shop, they will pay you less than its melt value.

On the edge if you carefully look without touching the face sides, it will probably have stamped the Mint maker and silver weight listed. Hopefully this is a solid silver round,not just plated, value would be much less.
Rest in Peace

States 999 fine silver on reverse.

It's a better round. It should sell for $10-$12 more than silver spot.

Nice round.

When you bought a set of 4 tires from Michelin there was a bonus offer. When you applied for it you got a standup Michelin plastic case with a photo of the moon landing walk, a card about Apollo 11 and the silver coin you show held in a another round protective case. I have the complete set.
