Graded PR70DCAM by PCGS, this coin comes with both a US Mint Certificate of Authenticity and an insert hand-signed by Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise. Fred Haise, in full Fred Wallace Haise, Jr. Born November 14, 1933, Biloxi, Mississippi, U. , American astronaut, participant in the Apollo 13 mission (April 1117, 1970), in which an intended Moon landing was canceled because of a rupture in a fuel-cell oxygen tank in the service module. Haise became a naval aviation cadet in 1952 and served as a fighter pilot in the U. After obtaining a bachelors degree (1959) from the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Haise joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a test pilot; he was selected for the manned space program in 1966. After the Apollo program was closed in 1977, Haise was assigned to the space shuttle program for two years. He then retired from NASA and accepted an executive position with the Grumman Aerospace Corporation (later Northrop Grumman Corporation); he retired from the company in 1996.
