2019-W Gold $5 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Proof (Box and CoA)
Product Details
The 2019-W Apollo 11 50th Anniversary $5 Gold Proof Coin is a masterful tribute marking the 50th anniversary of the historic July 20, 1969 moon landing. Struck in a curved format at the West Point Mint, this special issue was one of only two curved gold coins ever minted in United States Mint history. It features a unique concave obverse and convex reverse with a brilliant proof finish that beautifully highlights the historic moment Buzz Aldrin stood on the lunar surface, making it an essential centerpiece for collectors of classic and modern American numismatics.
Product Highlights:
Obverse Design: Features Gary Cooper's winning concave design depicting the footprints left on the lunar dust, surrounded by the inscriptions 'MERCURY', 'GEMINI', and 'APOLLO' representing the three NASA programs that led to the moon landing.
Reverse Design: Showcases Phebe Hemphill's convex design featuring a detailed close-up reflection in astronaut Buzz Aldrin's visor, showing Neil Armstrong, the U.S. flag, and the Lunar Module 'Eagle' on the moon's surface.
Mintage and Purity: Contains 0.2419 troy oz of fine gold (.900 fine gold, 8.359 grams total weight), with a low final net mintage of only 32,878 Proof coins.
Historical Centennial Issue: Represents the historic 50th anniversary space exploration tribute, issued as the United States Mint's second curved gold commemorative coin in history following the 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame issue.
