Apollo 11 50th Anniversary 5 Oz Silver One Dollar Buzz Aldrin Autographed Presentation

This first day of issue, five-ounce Silver Dollar (aka “puck”) is the first of its kind – it is the only US coin to be made with a proof finish, reeded edge, and curved shape. These coins carry the grade of proof 70, the highest grade available.
These coins were present at the official launch ceremony at the Kennedy Space Center on January 24, 2019 as part of the supply secured by the Astronaut Memorial Foundation. These are the ONLY coins that are eligible to carry the launch ceremony certification designation by PCGS.

The coin has been handsomely paired with a signature insert authentically signed by Apollo XI astronaut Buzz Aldrin and encapsulated in a proprietary tamper evident, sonically sealed plastic holder (aka Slab) for display. These are the ONLY coin presentations that Dr. Aldrin has signed as part of a joint venture with the non-profit Astronaut Memorial Foundation.

The coin presentation is accompanied by an additional certificate signed by Buzz Aldrin Ventures COO Linn LeBlanc, authenticating Buzz Aldrin’s signature.

And what better way to celebrate the first manned Moon landing which occurred July 20, 1969!
