Celebrate one of humanity’s greatest achievements with this exceptionally rare and historically significant collectible: the 2019 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary $5 Gold Coin, officially issued by the U.S. Mint and encapsulated by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) with a label personally hand-signed by astronaut Michael Collins, the Command Module Pilot of the legendary Apollo 11 mission.

This limited-edition coin is more than a piece of precious metal—it's a direct connection to the golden era of space exploration and to one of the three men who carried the hopes of an entire planet into the unknown.

A Tribute to a Defining Moment in Human History

On July 20, 1969, the world watched in awe as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the Moon, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command Module "Columbia," ensuring the safe return of the crew. The Apollo 11 mission marked not just a milestone in space travel, but a triumph of human ingenuity, courage, and determination.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of this monumental achievement, the U.S. Mint launched a special series of coins, including this strikingly designed curved $5 gold coin, crafted in 90% gold and issued in a strictly limited mintage of just 50,000 across all gold formats.

A Rare Opportunity for Collectors and Space Enthusiasts

Very few of these coins bear the authentic autograph of Michael Collins, making this piece an extraordinary acquisition for space memorabilia collectors, coin enthusiasts, and those who cherish the legacy of Apollo 11.

As these hand-signed editions were produced in extremely limited numbers, they seldom appear on the market.
