WOW! Look what I found: a Boeing Experimental Systems Group X-37B OTV coin made from flown X-37B metal. Made my day!

That's really cool. What's your guess on the date (year) of coin minting?

I believe it's 2017.

At least back to November 2017 from what I've heard. If I am able to narrow down a time frame I'll post it. (As an aside, the coin is 1.75 inches in diameter.)

I saw this at Spacefest. When I asked the price, the rep seemed to look around and take a wild guess at a price... $200. No thanks.

A friend is sending me this Boeing USSF-7 X-37B OTV-6 medallion with flown embedded metal. The embedded metal appears to be in the big star at the bottom. No further info at this time.
