Jim McDivitt's flown sterling silver Apollo 9 Robbins medallion, approximately 1˝ in diameter, with a raised design of the mission insignia on the face—the orbiting CM and LM with Saturn V launch vehicle, and mission number "IX" at center. The reverse is engraved with the mission dates, "March 3–13, 1969," and encircled by the surnames of the astronauts in raised text: "McDivitt, Scott, Schweickart." The medal is serial numbered "185" and stamped below with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Encapsulated and graded by NGC as "MS 66," with the label noting the provenance, "Ex. James A. McDivitt." Accompanied by its original plastic case (with matching "185" sticker on the bottom) and a signed letter of provenance from McDivitt (with a PSA authentication label on the reverse), in full: "I certify that this Robbins Medallion #185 was flown on Apollo 9 and is from my personal collection."
