The lunar landing expanded the possibilities of the human imagination and inspired millions of people aiming for large goals. It also marked a seminal victory for the United States in the Space Race with the Soviet Union, an especially important one after the Soviets were the first to put a man in space.

Struck from 26.73 g of. 999 fine silver and bearing the “P” mint mark of the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is part of a joint mintage with the uncirculated version of 400,000 pieces. Breathtaking Neil Armstrong Design by Phebe Hemphill. S Mint held a contest for the reverse design, which a submission by Gary Cooper won. Sculpted by Joseph Menna, it consists of a single footprint on the moon’s surface under the names of the NASA programs that made the moon landing possible, “MERCURY, ” “GEMINI, ” and APOLLO. Also integrated into the design are images of the moon in different phases. The bottom half of this face bears several additional inscriptions, including the national motto, IN GOD WE TRUST. Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted the reverse, modelling it off of part of a famous photo. The face is filled with the helmet of Buzz Aldrin’s spacesuit. In the reflection of the helmet’s visor, Neil Armstrong stands on the moon with an American flag to one side and the lunar module on the other. “ONE DOLLAR” is inscribed within the visor, while “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (From many, one) appear on other parts of the helmet. This coin received the second highest available grade, Proof 69, from the experts at Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). A coin must be perfect as seen by the naked eye to receive that grade.
