UPDATE: This lot is one of 16 in the current auction that comprise a complete suite of a medal, a patch, and a cover for each of John Young’s six space missions. Because select pieces within this collection are very rare, it took over seven years of determination and dedication to complete the project. The other 15 lots associated with this special collection are listed here.
Flown silver-tone Gemini 10 Fliteline medallion, 1" in diameter, with the front featuring a raised design of the mission insignia with astronaut surnames ("Young / Collins"), and the reverse engraved with the mission name and date, "Gemini 10, July 18-21, 1966." Exhibits some tarnishing.
