Smilies Legend
[i]"Lot 195 has apparently gone back to the moon. It has been withdrawn from sale." Thus spake Jon Baddeley, head of scientific instruments at Bonhams auctioneers in London on January 24th. Lot 195, by its full description, was "A sample of moon dust from the Apollo landing, July 1969." The lot was a small glass phial with a cork stopper containing 31.2 milligrams of dust collected by the first men on the moon. It was attached to an annotated laboratory label. Bonhams estimated its value as £300-400 ($540-715).[/i]
