Here is an Apollo 9 Robbins medal we have sold in the past:
Apollo 9 Flown Robbins Medal
Apollo 9 (March 3–13, 1969) was the third human spaceflight in NASA’s Apollo program. Flown in low Earth orbit, it was the second crewed Apollo mission that the United States launched via a Saturn V rocket, and was the first flight of the full Apollo spacecraft: the command and service module (CSM) with the Lunar Module (LM). The mission was flown to qualify the LM for lunar orbit operations in preparation for the first Moon landing by demonstrating its descent and ascent propulsion systems, showing that its crew could fly it independently, then rendezvous and dock with the CSM again, as would be required for the first crewed lunar landing. Other objectives of the flight included firing the LM descent engine to propel the spacecraft stack as a backup mode (as would be required on the Apollo 13 mission), and use of the portable life support system backpack outside the LM cabin.
Apollo 9 flown Robbins medal, serial number 272, as one of 350 minted. The Apollo 9 mission, which launched on 6 March 1969, was the first flight of the Command/Service Module with the Lunar Module, testing several aspects before the first moon landing, including the lunar module engines, backpack life support systems, navigation systems and docking maneuvers. Obverse of coin features various mission insignia, including the Saturn V, CSM and LM orbiting, as well as the roman numeral “IX”. Verso features each crewmember’s last name engraved around edge, mission dates engraved, “March 3-13, 1969” as well as serial number “272” and the Robbins sterling silver hallmark. Measures 1″ in diameter and is housed in its original ”Robbins Company” plastic box with a “272” sticker on the bottom. Near fine. With an LOA from Jack Swigert’s sister. Sold for $5,250.
