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 "90" 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 case and a letter of provenance signed by McDivitt, in part: "This 1˝ diameter, sterling silver Apollo 9 Robbins Medallion was flown in Earth orbit aboard Apollo 9, 3-13 March 1969, and is from my personal collection." McDivitt's letter bears a PSA/DNA authentication label to the lower right corner.
