This medallion is now in the stages of final completion by Winco and will be available through multiple venues soon. More details to come as they are available. |

I don't get this. It's not like they didn't know the anniversary was coming, yet this coin is pretty much a year late? |

There is still another Apollo 11 collectable to follow. The 50th anniversary year runs July 2019-20. This particular one is my favourite Winco piece... so far.

Really beautiful coin, my first impulse buy in a while.Update: The coin arrived without the packaging, just in a holder, but wow it's beautiful. Highly recommended. |

As we're now into 2021, has this second Apollo 11 medallion, as indicated above by Spaceman, been released? I can see there are two versions of the Apollo 13 50th medallion (black and bronze) but I've only seen one Apollo 11 medallion, as shown above? |

There is a thread on the other coin, seen on eBay and sites now. Same front different back. |

Yes, I saw that thread but don't see that there's a second Apollo 11-specific medallion, which Spaceman alluded to above. What am I missing?! Is it just the same medallion as above but with the new generic backing card? |

To my knowledge, there is only one "Official NASA" Apollo 11 50th anniversary medallion from Winco. There were two Apollo 13 editions, but that was a special case. The Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 medallions have mission-specific backer cards; the others (will) have a card that is generic to the entire Apollo program. |
