Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). Since the beginning of human spaceflight, astronauts have taken mementos with them in space. Coins and paper currency, small and lightweight, were often favorites during Project Mercury as space-flown souvenirs. Beginning with the Gemini program, astronauts took an active role in designing and producing commemorative medallions to be taken into space. Since the Apollo program, NASA has coordinated with the Robbins Company to produce medallions for every space mission since Apollo 7. All of the medallions pictured are space-flown, and either come from the collection of a NASA astronaut or were given as a gift by the astronaut who carried it. (See tables for more detailed provenance links).
Original
A complete set of space-flown medallions for the Gemini (10) and Apollo (12) manned spaceflight programs.
