The Day that Changed the World

Buy It Now

Everyone has days or events in their lives that remain vividly in their memory - births, deaths and of course marriages - but there are also those world-wide events that are so momentous they remain in the collective consciousness. For those who are old enough to remember, the Moon Landing on July 20th 1969 must surely rank No.1.

As part of our Moon Landing 40th Anniversary celebrations, we have created a cover that all collectors will love.

  • Now with very small numbers personally signed by astronaut Michael Collins
  • Featuring a single stamp and label from our moonlanding anniversary sheet
  • Cancelled with a specially designed The Eagle Has Landed Jodrell Bank, Manchester postmark, on the date of blast-off
  • Doubled with a single IOM moonlanding stamp, cancelled with a Douglas pictorial postmark on the day of the 40th anniversary (16/07/2009)
  • Bearing a stunning medallion designed by Cath Buckingham

40th Anniversary Moonlanding Sheet

Together with our 40th Anniversary Medal cover, this would make a superb set and part of space history, especially if you opt for the signed version! We worked officially with the National Science Museum to produce these sheets, which are also available signed by Dr Edgar Mitchell. We can offer them mounted, ready to frame too, so they'd make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in astronomy or the cosmos. Don't miss out!

A very small number of these coin covers are available personally signed by astronaut Michael Collins, who served as Command Module pilot on the famous Apollo 11 flight. He is one of only 24 humans to have flown to the Moon, and his autograph on this cover is extremely rare as he has not signed anything philatelic for years. Don't miss out!

This cover is also available personally signed by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the Moon. Dr. Mitchell, as lunar module pilot of Apollo 14, spent 9 hours working on the lunar surface.

Alternative Editions

This cover is also available is several alternative editions, with some fantastic alternative signatures:

  • BCC112AS - signed by astronaut David Scott, 7th man on the Moon, and the first to drive on the Moon; alternative postmark
  • BCC112BS - signed by astronaut Scott Carpenter, one of the original Mercury 7 crew; featuring special Scott Carpenter tribute medal and alternative postmark
  • BCC112CS - signed by rare signer Lt. Gen. Tom Stafford, of Gemini 6 & 9, Apollo 10 and Apollo ASTP/Soyuz; relevant medal and veryu rare signature
