US Mint is marking the 50th anniversary of the occasion with seven coins that are perfect for star gazers and patriots alike. They are just the second ever domed issues from the US Mint. This piece bears the “P” mint mark of the Philadelphia Mint, where it was struck from 26.73 g of. With the uncirculated version of the coin, it is part of a mintage of no more than 400,000 pieces. Moving Lunar Surface Designs by Gary Cooper and Phebe Hemphill. The obverse was designed by Gary Cooper and sculpted by Joseph Menna. The names of the NASA programs that made the moon landing possible, “MERCURY, ” “GEMINI, ” and “APOLLO, ” join four images of the moon in different phases in arching over a single footprint on the surface of the moon. The footprint beautifully captures the simplicity of Neil Armstrong’s first step and the magnitude of the accomplishment. The reverse is the convex face. Its curvature resembles that of Buzz Aldrin’s space helmet, which dominates this face. Phebe Hemphill took the image from a famous photograph in which Aldrin’s visor shows a reflection of Neil Armstrong standing between the American flag and the lunar module. “ONE DOLLAR” is inscribed within the visor, while “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (From many, one) are inscribed above and below it, respectively.
