One of the greatest events in history took place on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. A half-century later, Danbury Mint is proud to offer a unique treasury of Franklin and Kennedy Half-Dollars, beautifully enhanced to create a comprehensive history of America’s manned space programme, and each issued in the same year as the mission it commemorates.

- A magnificent collection of 6 Franklin and 33 Kennedy Half-Dollars, including many struck in silver, each enhanced with official NASA mission patch artwork.
- Colourised coins honouring every Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Skylab mission, plus important Space Shuttle missions.
- Fact-filled Collector Cards that accompany each coin and provide fascinating information about the historic NASA mission featured. The collection also includes a Display Chest and Collector’s Guide, yours at no extra charge.
