Here is an Apollo 15 Robbins medal we have sold in the past:
Apollo 15 Robbins Medal Flown
Apollo 15 (July 26, 1971 – August 7, 1971) was the ninth crewed mission in the United States’ Apollo program and the fourth to land on the Moon. It was the first J mission, with a longer stay on the Moon and a greater focus on science than earlier landings. Apollo 15 saw the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
Apollo 15 Robbins Medal, serial number 118. Extraordinarily rare medal is one of just 127 flown from a batch of 304 minted. Due to a misprint of the word “apennines” on reverse side, most (177) of the medals were sent back to the manufacturer and could not be redone before the spacecraft’s launch, leaving only the 127 with the correctly printed word to make the flight. Medal features mission insignia of a trio of left-facing flight symbols upon a stylized lunar surface ground. The astronauts’ surnames are inscribed to the border underneath and “Apollo 15” is inscribed at top center. Reverse features a motto, “‘Man’s Flight Through Life Is Sustained By The Power Of Knowledge'”, surrounding “Apollo 15 / Falcon / Endeavor” with dates engraved to fields under each. The name of the mission’s landing site on the moon “Hadley / Appennines” appears beside the middle item. At upper left is a winged propellor symbol. The rim is engraved “Sterling” and with the serial number. Measures nearly 1.5″ in diameter and weighs 20 grams or 0.75 ounces. Scratching to center symbol, else fine. With an LOA from the Swigert estate. Sold for $12,600.
