Watch List notes:

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Germany - United States. Trio of Moon Landing Silver Medals (3 Pieces), 1969 & 1971. GEM PROOF.
1) Neil Armstrong Silver Medal, 1969. Hans Kaiser-2026. Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 14.94 gms. Commemorating Apollo 11 and the first man on the moon. Obverse: Bust facing slightly left in astronauts' suit; crescent moon to right; Reverse: Armstrong descending from the Eagle onto the moon's surface; view of the Earth on the horizon. Edge: Plain. Hans Kaiser 2026. Tremendously prooflike and dazzling, with a light frosting to the devices and some subtle burgundy-lilac toning.

2) Armstrong, Aldrin & Collins Silver Medal, 1969. Hans Kaiser-2027.1. Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 15.06 gms. Obverse: Busts of Aldrin, Armstrong, and Collins facing slightly left in astronauts' suits; Reverse: In foreground, Aldrin plants U.S. flag upon a lunar crater; behind, Armstrong collects surface samples before the Eagle; view of Earth above the horizon in the background. Tremendously prooflike and dazzling, with a light frosting to the devices and some subtle burgundy-lilac toning. An error in engraving reveals a lack of a horizontal support for the flag. Given the lack of wind on the moon's surface, a support was needed in order for the flag to stay revealed. The apparent billowing as depicted here is a mistake on the engraver's part, mimicking what a flag would do under normal terrestrial atmospheric conditions.

3) Irwin, Worden & Scott Silver Medal, 1971. Hans Kaiser-2088. Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 14.83 gms. Commemorating Apollo 15. Obverse: Busts of Irwin, Worden, and Scott facing slightly left in astronauts' suits; Reverse: Insignia of the mission. Tremendously prooflike and dazzling, with a light frosting to the devices and some subtle burgundy-lilac toning.

Estimate: $150 - $300
