I'm making an inventory of items I have and for insurance purpose, trying to find what the items listed below would be worth. The first two were received as gifts and the third one was bought from a cS member — but I don't remember who and I can't find any invoice/email referring to that item (no comment).
  • Apollo 30th anniversary bronze in plastic casing. Front depicts Moon and Earth with a big "A" in between. Back shows a Saturn V with launch tower and the text indicates that it is a commemorative coin containing metal from a Saturn V launch tower.

  • STS-98/ISS-5A Space Flight Awareness medal "U.S. Laboraroy Destiny installed February 10, 2001" in rectangular plastic casing with blue background. Coin contain metal from the US Laboratory.

  • STS-1 bronze medal. No plastic casing. Front depicts the mission patch, along with the signatures of John Young and Robert Crippen. Back: text only, which says "Thank you for your contribution toward making the world's first orbital flight of the Space Shuttle possible. We would like you to have this memento made in part of metal taken from the Columbia."
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

And I forgot this one:
  • NASA medal with plastic casing. Front (or back): 50 years 1958-2008. Celebrating 50 years of Inspiration, Innovation and Discovery. Back (or front): NASA logo depicted. Text: "NASA 50th anniversary official commemorative. This edition contains metal flown aboard a space shuttle mission."
