Interesting concept, Poorly executed

The picture on the website makes it look like you can see the piece of meteor in the coin, but in reality you need a microscope to even verify there is a tiny speck in the plastic. The plastic dollop in the coin holding the meteor dust particle also has an air bubble and flat spot at the top making it even more difficult to see.

The coin itself is also scratched like crazy, and I assume that was intentional. Overall pretty disappointed with the quality of this coin, even though it seemed like a great idea.

Nice piece, but...

The coin has good weight today and a solid design. However, I could barely see the meteorite piece in my coin - I almost though that it was not there for a moment.

Gift for Grandson

Thought it would be nice as a legacy for my Grandson for an Alien collection I am putting together for him.

It is thrilling to watch the OSIRIS-REx mission as it nears the culmination of its effort--the sample! This beautifully crafted and presented coin truly encapsulates a momentous event in our species' interaction with the universe around us.
