One of the 300 flown-covers from the Apollo 15 crew's
personal collection!

Bearing Serial Number 219, and accompanied by the original
1983 crew-signed certification and insert card.

Housed in a custom-made lead crystal sculpture,
designed by David Frohman!




One of the most historic philatelic items in existence!

One of forty-nine Series 1953 Two-Dollar bills
flown to the Moon aboard Apollo 15!

Signed by the complete crew,
consisting of Dave Scott, Jim Irwin, and Al Worden!

Affixed to a custom flight-certification certificate,
signed by astronaut Dave Scott!

Of the forty-nine bills flown, this is one of only four examples
to have been flight-certified in this deluxe presentation format!



One of the rarest and most historic examples of money in existence!

Bearing Serial Number 69.

One of only 127 examples that were flown,
and housed in its original Robbins presentation case!

An autograph-letter signed from Jim Irwin, dated August 1, 1983,
in which he expresses relief over the return of his flown covers!

This letter was written only 12 days after Irwin received his
flown postal covers back from the U.S. government!



This letter would make an exceptional
companion piece to one of Irwin's flown covers!

Signed by Dave Scott, Jim Irwin, and Al Worden
in pre-flight quarantine within days of their launch to the Moon!

Astronaut Al Worden recently confirmed that this style
of crew-signed postal cover was one used
by the crew as Insurance Covers.

What makes this cover extraordinary, however,
is the handwritten letter from Jim Irwin on its verso!

Read Irwin's tender and extremely-moving words,
and you will appreciate the significance of this historic piece!


Unique and irreplaceable!
