Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 7:34 pm I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the story related on the insert that came with this one. The lander's descent stage remained on the lunar surface, and its ascent stage was later jettisoned, crashing back onto the moon. Only the command module returned to earth. So how was the metal referred to obtained? Shop floor scrap from the time it was being fabricated that was scooped up and saved for three decades, maybe? Nothing too romantic about that. Inquiring minds want to know. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Shop floor scrap from the time it was being fabricated that was scooped up and saved for three decades, maybe? It only takes one metal bolt, or one small metal bracket or one small metal flap, etc. to have been brought back from the Eagle and for that piece of metal to have been added to the alloy used to create the planchets for the medal to make the certificate accurate. Most of the advertised "space-flown" medals have only a trace of metal that actually was in space. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

DrDarryl Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 11/21/2021 08:52 am Discovery I made a few years back. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 11/21/2021 09:26 am That is a great find DrDarryl. Very observant of you. Have you seen others since? Even the "normal" issue isn't cheap from what I see. I get a kick out of mule medals and such. Have a couple/few myself but not this one. Report this Post to the Staff
