My sister bought a similar type of coin with moon meteorite encased within it... I think they are quiet gimmicky not for most collectors...
ReplyDeleteYes, not much of numismatic item. I bought it because of its fine detailed strike of the moon surface which I thought was kinda cool as its closely maps the actual moon terrain.
