Flown sterling silver Apollo 10 Robbins medal, approximately 1.25 x 1.25, with a raised design on the face of the mission insignia and the last names of crew members Tom Stafford, John Young, and Gene Cernan. The reverse of the medallion is engraved "May 18-26, 1969" and serial numbered "104." Condition is mint state. Accompanied by a 2013 letter of authenticity signed by Apollo 10 CMP John Young, which reads: "I hereby certify that Apollo 10 silver Robbins Medal, serial number 104, was flown to the moon with me aboard the mission May 18-26, 1969 and has been a part of my personal collection since the mission." An immensely appealing flown Robbins medal deriving from the personal collection of CMP Young, an astronaut whose autograph remains particularly difficult to obtain.
