A Personal Message from APOLLO 11 ASTRONAUT MICHAEL COLLINS
50 years ago, I was privileged to be part of what many have called the greatest adventure in human history when Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and I traveled to the Moon aboard Apollo 11.
Throughout my lifetime, America has enjoyed a love affair with flying and space travel and I have always been intrigued by the fascinating U.S. stamps that chart our course through history. Now, the best of these stamps are highlighted in an exciting new collection of meticulously reproduced colorized silver ingots.
Every stamp in this collection tells a captivating story, and together they trace the progression from the advent of manned flight in 1903 to the pioneers of aviation and onwards to Apollo 11, Space Shuttles and so much more.
I sincerely hope you will join me in owning the Air & Space Collection. It is a magnificent way to celebrate such an important part of our national heritage.
Introducing the Air & Space Collection
Silver Stamp Ingots Minted to the Highest Quality in One Ounce of .999 Fine Silver and Fully Colorized... Plus the 1969 Apollo 11 First Man on the Moon Stamp Ingot, Proof Struck and Layered in 24-Karat Gold
On July 20, 1969, the history of mankind changed forever when Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface. This event, like many other great milestones in America’s air and space history, was memorialized on an official U.S. postage stamp.
These stamps are long out of issue but are always prized for their stunning designs and exclusive collector status. And now, for the first time, the best of these stamps have been authorized in the world’s first collection of fully colorized solid silver ingots displaying America’s most famous air and space stamps.
Each limited-edition ingot is struck in one ounce of .999 fine silver and is crafted to the same exacting standards as the world’s finest coins. The faithful, full-color reproductions of the original stamp designs bring back the pride and glory of America’s unparalleled air and space accomplishments — and create a collection that will be coveted for generations to come.
