I'll be buying this coin! I hate to say it, I might also.

Second? What was the other?
Baseball Hall of Fame. Convex side shows a baseball, concave side is a catcher’s mitt. Really works well with that design.

I mean the one I watched on a black and white portable television with my dad when I was eight.

If you look closely at the original pic, in addition to the LEM and everything else, a very tiny blue spec is visible in the reflection on Buzz’s visor. The Earth. It really is an amazing photograph.

I remember where I was when I saw that image. I had pulled into a gas station somewhere in Cajun country and they had a B&W TV on in their office. I’d completely forgotten about the Moon launch until then.

The coins should have the astronauts on the moon and on the reverse side have them on the movie set and cameras filming them.
