"50th Anniversary Of Apollo 17" Silver Dollar Gem Proof Coin

It was an amazing time to be an American: the time of the space race and endless possibility. Where in just three short years, from 1969 to 1972, 14 men walked on the surface of the Moon. While NASA's space exploration has seen many triumphs, nothing truly compares to the idea of human beings on the surface of another object in space. It was an unprecedented achievement yet to be replicated. Now, you can honor this triumph with The 50th Anniversary of Apollo 17 Silver Dollar Proof Coin, available in an exclusive presentation from The Bradford Exchange Mint. Minted only from 1971 to 1978, the Eisenhower Proof Dollars are the shortest silver dollar run in history, and the Proof versions are even more rare. A wonderful way to honor the 50th anniversary of the last U.S. moon mission, this graded 1972-S Proof is available in an edition limited to just 999 worldwide!

Each authentic Proof from the San Francisco Mint is a true original crafted in 40% silver and independently graded in coveted Gem Proof condition by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) Grading Service, ensuring authenticity and quality. Each is struck with Proof quality coining dies to produce its elegant, frosted imagery and mirror-bright fields. Featuring a portrait of the famed General and President on the obverse and the Eagle landing on the Moon on the reverse (in imitation of the Apollo 11 mission patch), it is a true, dated artifact of its era celebrating space. This Proof coin arrives in an NGC crystal-clear, tamper-proof holder that is hand-signed by former NASA Astronaut and member of the Apollo crew, Charlie Duke. Plus, this curated presentation comes complete with a FREE Deluxe Display Box to showcase this unique commemoration of America's achievements in space. Strong demand is expected, so order now!
