To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo missions to the Moon, NASA has worked with Winco International in developing a series of "Official Limited Edition" commemoratives.

Winco has extended to collectSPACE readers an opportunity to order these items, including medals minted in part from metal flown to the Moon, to add to their own Apollo celebrations. In addition to making each of these items available individually, Winco is also offering an exclusive package to collectSPACE readers that includes one of each item, including matching numbered pieces.

The NASA Official Limited Edition commemoratives include:

Apollo 40th Anniversary Medallion

Minted in antique silver and nickel, the Apollo 40th Anniversary Medallion "contains metal flown to the Moon on Apollo missions". One side of this 1.75" diameter medal includes the NASA insignia; the reverse features NASA's "Apollo 40 Years" logo and the words, "Exploring the Moon, Discovery Earth: Celebrate Apollo".

Apollo Program 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Boxed Pin Set

This limited edition of 1,969 boxed sets includes these official pins:

Apollo 40th Anniversary Official Logo -- This pin was developed for NASA for special presentation.
First Footprints -- Rendered dimensionally in antique silver, this pin recreates in full dimension the famous photo of an astronaut's boot print on the lunar surface.
Apollo Program Logo -- The official insignia for NASA's first Moon-bound manned program, reproduced for its 40th anniversary.
1968-Apollo-1972 -- Developed for NASA, this pin is one of two exclusive to this box set.
Apollo 11 Lunar Plaque -- Exclusive to this set, the commemorative plaque left by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon is reproduced in miniature.

Each pin is inscribed on its reverse as part of the NASA Official Limited Edition. A descriptive plate is also included. A protective sleeve indicates the Official NASA Limited Edition on front and includes a Certificate of Authenticity on the reverse.

"Celebrate Apollo" and "Celebrate Apollo 11" Frame Sets

A limited edition of 1,969 frames each, Winco considers these Apollo editions to be the finest they have produced in their 22 years of framing.

"Celebrate Apollo" and "Celebrate Apollo 11" each includes a unique, limited edition medallion only available within these two framed editions. Although different than the "Apollo 40th Anniversary Medallion" described earlier, these frame medallions also contain rare Apollo Command Module metal that was flown to the Moon.

"Celebrate Apollo" (14x20.5") also includes a signed and numbered limited edition print, "The Great Moment" by artist Paul Calle, as well as all 12 Apollo mission emblem pins arranged such that they orbit a photograph of the moon.
"Celebrate Apollo 11" (13x16") also includes first day covers featuring the "First Man on the Moon" U.S. stamp designed by Paul Calle as well as Apollo 11-related pins.

Both frames include brushed silver-finish story plates in the shape of an Apollo Command Module. Each frame's limited edition number is engraved on the module's engine.
