We Buy Commemorative Apollo 11 Silver Bullion – 100% Transparent Appraisals
2019 marked a landmark celebration for precious metal enthusiasts and fans of the cosmos. Some of the world’s most beloved bullion coin programs celebrated major anniversaries in 2019, but for some, these coins were outshone by the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. Fulfilling a decade-long challenge set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, America won the Space Race and sent mankind to another celestial body for the first time in human history in the summer of 1969.
United States Mint Silver & Gold Coins
The United States Mint issued a commemorative series of gold and silver bullion coins to mark the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11. DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS purchases these coins from collectors and sellers. The primary collection consists of brilliant silver and gold bullion coins. All five commemorative issues share the same obverse and reverse design, with a convex reverse face and a concave obverse.
The obverse side of all coins shows an astronaut’s footprint on the moon’s surface. Engravings include “Mercury, Gemini, Apollo” along with four phases of the moon. Additional markings include “In God We Trust,” “Liberty,” “2019,” and the mint mark: “P” for Philadelphia Mint silver coins or “W” for West Point Mint gold coins.
The reverse face features the recreated photo Buzz Aldrin took on the moon. The reflection in his visor captures the American flag, the Eagle lunar lander, and Neil Armstrong standing in the distance. Aldrin’s shadow and helmet frame the design entirely.
The United States Mint’s primary coins include:
- 1 oz Uncirculated Coin – $1 (USD)
- 1 oz Proof Coin – $1 (USD)
- 5 oz Proof Coin – $1 (USD)
- $5 Uncirculated Gold Coin
- $5 Proof Gold Coin
Mintage figures were set for each coin: the 1 oz silver coins had a mintage of 400,000, the 5 oz silver coin had a mintage of 100,000, and the two $5 gold coins, each containing 8.359 grams (.2687 Troy oz) of actual gold, had mintage caps of 50,000.
Background on Apollo 11
Apollo 11 was the fifth crewed mission in the Apollo program and the first to land mankind on another celestial body and return safely. The mission featured astronauts Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong. The crew lifted off from Cape Canaveral on July 16, 1969, and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969. They returned with only the landing pod after departing Earth with the command module, support module, and Eagle lunar lander.
