Just to give you an idea about the size of this medal — you can compare it here to an (commonly known) Apollo 11 MFA medallion:

Without Enterprise there would have been no successful shuttle program. It was a vital part and needed to be included...Plus I am a huge Star Trek fan, so not including Enterprise was not really an option. |

I just received my set (one medal and one coin). WOW! Must be the most impressive medal with flown material I have seen so far!Very big and heavy compared to everything else out there (plus the material is actually visible and the very low mintage!). The coin is also very nice — makes a perfect set. So far the highlight of my collection! |

I got a couple of these (I like to display medals and if I can afford two, it's nice to show face and back) and they are really pretty cool. I really like the idea of having flown metal from every shuttle and it is interesting how it's been embedded onto the surface of the medal--it makes it more 'real' somehow. Usually, when I get a flown metal coin, it's mostly concept--we know that the quantity of flown metal is just a few molecules perhaps in the actual final coin...it's the idea that some part of history was blended into the coin that we like. But here, the actual metal is visible, can be touched. It seems somehow more substantial and well, "real." Anyway, these are cool pieces. I really like the heft and balance of the big medal and as always, Winco does a good job in the deep engraving style. So a good piece, both in production and more importantly, in concept. It's definitely a one of a kind piece! |
