The GRAIL ULA medallion does not contain flown metal, but rather material from the launch complex (as noted by the inscription, "Minted with metal from SLC-17").As a related aside, ULA medallions are minted prior to launch. |

Robert — my mistake, you are correct, should have said blended metal, not flown. Still a nice coin.  |

Jason, these ULA medallions sure in demand. I got the WGS-7 yesterday, really thought you were going to get the IIf-10 today, had avoided bidding on it today. Surprised it went that high. |

Patrick, as much as I really wanted them I had to walk away, but I tried. My wife wouldn't exactly be thrilled either!  |

Nice! Got the generic version of the Parker Solar Probe coin, but was wondering if ULA would put out their own. Been awhile since I have seen any up for auction. |

Been trying to get find them, both ULA and the "generic" ones and missed out on them. I know there's two other ones that follow closely the JHU APL patch and 45th Space Wing patch.Do you have any extras? |

While not technically a ULA medallion, the "End of an Era - Delta II" medallion for the flight today (Sept. 15), really nice looking. |

I just got this coin and on the side border of the coin, it states "This coin contains metal from the mobile service tower at SLC-2."A neat surprise to find. |

I may have the whole Delta IV collection as the GPS-III. The only ones I don't have and I don't know if they exist are: - DSCS-3 A3 (I have DSCS-3 B6)
- DSP-23
- DMSP-5D3 F17
- GOES N, O & P (I don't believe any were made)

WOW Jim! That's an impressive collection. Figure take me a very long time to get there, just don't see that many up for auction. |

Trying to fill the holes in my Atlas collection. There have been 80 launches, with maybe 70 of them having coins. I am about twenty short. The issue, again, is knowing what ones exist. I don't think there were any for the first six commercial flights. |

I have added ULA coins to my site.Only those with pictures of the coins that I have or could find on the web. If you know of others please send me a picture. Please note that these are the ones put out by ULA and not a version put out by one company (such as Boeing). |

I have completed my research on the ULA mission/coins, including two new coins I found images of (NROL-30 and IIF-9). Here are the results. Again If I am missing any please let me know and provide photos as I have exhausted my internet searching abilities... - 137 ULA Mission
- 63 Delta (30 Delta II, 10 Delta IV Heavy, 23 Delta IV)
- 74 Atlas V
Of which I have confirmed that the following have an ULA version coin (via photo or actual coin) - 96 ULA Mission
- 33 Delta (5 Delta II, 9 Delta IV Heavy, 19 Delta IV)
- 63 Atlas V
There are also three non-mission coins.I have uploaded a spreadsheet with all the missions/coins to my site (see downloads). |
