2019-S Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Half Dollar Proof NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/Moon Display Core & Mission Patch

U.S. Mint Commemorates 50th Anniversary Of One Small Step For Man….

On July 20, 1969, the people of Earth were glued to their television sets. Before their very eyes, a door opened, a ladder descended, and a man first set foot on the surface of the Moon. The footprints, the flag and plaque left on the lunar surface sent an eternal message throughout the cosmos: humanity had finally reached the heavens, and America led the way.

Just The Second Time In History That The U.S. Mint Has Struck A Coin With A Curved Surface

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, Congress authorized the release of this special, limited-edition commemorative half dollar proof. Not just any half dollar, it represents just the second time in history that the U.S. Mint has struck a coin with a curved surface! On the coin’s obverse is the indented footprint left by astronaut Neil Armstrong along with the names of the space programs that led to such a historic moment: MERCURY, GEMINI and APOLLO separated by phases of the Moon. Flip the coin over and you’ll see the outward curve of an astronaut’s helmet. The design recreates the famous photograph snapped by Buzz Aldrin of Armstrong standing next to the lunar module Eagle as seen through Buzz’s visor.

Flawless Proof Coins From The First Day Of Issue

Your 2019-S Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Half-Dollar has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! In addition, NGC has certified that your proof is a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin, meaning it was purchased within one day of the first day that The Mint made the coin available for sale and was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within one week of the release date along with documentation that demonstrates the date when the coin was purchased. Your coin will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing in 1969 with a special Moon display core that resembles the Moon’s surface. Finally, you will also receive an Apollo 11 Mission Patch—the perfect complement to your coin!
