1982 STS-3 Columbia Space Shuttle 1 oz .999 Fine Silver Northrup Strip Medal
Commemorative silver round celebrating the historic STS-3 Columbia mission of March 22–30, 1982, the only Space Shuttle mission to land at Northrup Strip, White Sands, New Mexico. The obverse depicts the Shuttle Columbia in orbit, flanked by crew names Fullerton and Lousma, with the mission designation STS-3 boldly centered. The reverse highlights key mission details including 3.3 million miles traveled, launch from Cape Canaveral, and landing at White Sands, alongside inscriptions denoting .999 fine silver purity.
Struck as a 1 troy ounce bullion-style commemorative, this medal bridges numismatics and space exploration history, making it a desirable collectible for both coin enthusiasts and aerospace memorabilia collectors. Unlike Robbins medallions issued to astronauts, this piece represents a private-mint commemorative series honoring the shuttle program.
