1970 Apollo 11 “Flown Metal” Manned Flight Awareness Medal – NGC MS69 (From the Armstrong Family Collection, #1 of 100 Presented to Neil Armstrong)

This extraordinary 1970 Apollo 11 Manned Flight Awareness (MFA) Medal, certified MS69 by NGC, holds profound historical and spaceflight significance.

Struck using actual metal flown aboard the Apollo 11 mission, (The “flown metal” used for the Apollo 11 version is described as: metal removed from the Command Module Columbia (heat-shield bolt) and from the Lunar Module Eagle (pulley clamp) that flew the mission),  it commemorates mankind’s first lunar landing in July 1969 and was created by NASA as part of its elite MFA program to honor those who contributed to the success of America’s space achievements.

Only 100 examples were specially presented to Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon—and this coin is the very first from the Armstrong Family Collection, carrying unparalleled provenance.

Produced in limited numbers and reserved for astronauts and top NASA personnel, these medals are among the most coveted artifacts of the Apollo era. With dazzling luster, sharp strike, and near-perfect preservation, this NGC MS69 example stands as a tangible link to humanity’s greatest leap—blending numismatic rarity with direct connection to the man who made history on the lunar surface.
