Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:3326025 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown |
| Type: Commemorative Coins |
This is a Single NEW condition Vintage 1969 JPL Apollo XI Moon Landing Commemorative Coin Made with Heat Shield Metal. For several decades my grandfather's print shop, Mock Printing, supplied Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology with specialty printing services. Sometime after the first week of August in 1969, my grandfather told me that the head of JPL's purchasing department gave him about a dozen commemorative coins made from... excess heat shield metal, and grandpa gave many other relatives a coin. He kept two in his desk until he passed away about 30 years later and I am selling them one at a time. The metal is unusually light, like titanium, and I (a very strong person) cannot bend it with moderate effort.
I cannot find any history of these particular coins and no one currently at JPL remembers this period, so I wasn't able to get secondary confirmation of this history.
FREE Domestic Economy Shipping. International shipping ok. Shipping weight about 2 ounces.
---------------------------I will combine shipping on all my items.Shipments $20.00 and above will have the insurance included in the S/H cost. International shipping ok. The ebay and USPS delivery estimates are wildly optimistic. My experience is that international shipping will take 10 - 21+ days until delivery. Only Express Mail has a chance to meet the delivery estimate. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPERS NOTE: I cannot determine or pay any duties or know about quarantine your country may impose on any of my items. Please check with your local post office BEFORE buying or bidding so you don't get any unwelcome surprises. International First Class is the least expensive, but also is the least dependable. Please select your shipping option when buying.If you look at my ratings, you will note that only 2% of the sellers on ebay have my dual distinction. I have earned these ratings by being an honest, accurate and fast shipping seller. If you have ANY question or concern, please contact me through ebay messages and NOT through the paypal email address, as I only check that address monthly. I will answer most ebay messages in less than 1 day, and all in 2 days.INSURANCE NOTE: I try to insure every shipment of $20.00 or more by ebay's insurance. Unfortunately, 2012 postal regulations forbid insurance on certain types of postal shipping services to various countries. Also, unfortunately, I now usually only find out whether an item can be insured when I go to make out the shipping label. If insurance is incredibly important to you, email me before bidding and I will try to see if the least expensive shipping service can be insured. An example of the international differences is that at this time, Canada apparently forbids insurance on all postal service levels except Express Mail Parcels. In contrast, I have been able to insure First Class Parcels to both Argentina and Switzerland. I do not personally insure anything. UNINSURED SHIPMENTS ARE SENT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Returns accepted. Uninsured shipments are at your risk. I always have confirmation that I have shipped.Local pickup ok for all my items. Contact me for payment upon pickup details.Alternate payment methods ok if no paypal account as indicated below.Please peruse my other items in my ebay store 'The Anachron' by clicking on the red icon near the top of the listing.
