Flown sterling silver Gemini 5 Fliteline medallion, measuring 1˝ in diameter, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the front—a Conestoga wagon with the slogan "8 Days or Bust." The reverse is engraved with the mission dates, "August 21–29, 1965." Hallmarked "Sterling" at the bottom. Encapsulated and graded by NGC as "MS 62," with the label noting the provenance, "Ex. Charles Conrad Jr." Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Charles Conrad, in part: "This sterling silver Gemini 5 medallion flew in space from August 21 to 29, 1965. Gemini 5 was my first space mission and the second for Gordon Cooper who was mission commander. The covered wagon reflects the pioneering spirit of this early Gemini flight. This medallion became part of history when we completed the record breaking eight day flight."
