# 687 - Apollo 11 50th Anniversary
This coin was produced by the Department of the Treasury, United States Mint to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the first manned landing on the Moon.
The Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Five Ounce Proof Silver Dollar is the first United States coin with a proof finish, reeded edge, and curved shape.
The obverse design features the inscriptions MERCURY, GEMINI and APOLLO, separated by the phases of the Moon, and a footprint on the lunar surface, which together represent the efforts of the United States space program leading up to the first manned Moon landing.
The reverse design features a representation of a close-up of the famous Buzz Aldrin on the Moon photograph taken July 20, 1969, that shows just the visor and part of the helmet of astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The reflection in Buzz Aldrin's helmet includes astronaut Neil Armstrong, the United States flag and the lunar lander.

Ooo. I got this one too while I was at the Philadelphia Mint. But mine is not PCGS sealed.
There were so many nice moon landing coins released last year.
This is the largest (5oz). US Mint made also a $.50 copper-nickel commemorative and a $1 silver commemorative (26.73g).
Oooo I only got the 1oz! The 5oz must look awesome in person
The slab is 13.5cm x 10cm x 2.4cm. It is gigantic.

Awesome one. Ive had my eye on it, but cant pull the trigger right now
The fact that the surface of the coin is concavous-convex makes it hard to take a good photo.
When it first came out, the kids' packs were sold out. I don't know if they minted more of them. The recall the many times during dinner when my Dad would tell us, his children, about the excitement he felt watching the moon landing with my grandfather on TV. I think he was in middle school then. I never bought me one... I should have... to remind me of my Dad's story of his amazement. My Dad was with USAF JAG.
Thanks for sharing, @ronaldoavelino. Take care 🥰🌺🤙
The other American coin about landing on the moon is the Eisenhower dollars.
