Question
I have a 20th July 1969 Apollo 11 Gold Commemorative Coin.
I cannot find much information on this perticular coin.
I don't know the % of Gold and its value.


Answer
Jeff, I don't think this is a U.S. government issue and thus not a coin.  I saw this item for sale on eBay (www.ebay.com) and below is its web address.  That purports to be a gold Apollo commemorative.  That piece was bid up to $51 but didn't sell as the reserve was not met.  Right now there doesn't seem to be any matches for sale at www.ebay.com but try back in a bit (say a week) and see what a search for Apollo 11 commemorative gives you then.

Try a search for Apollo 11 gold commemorative coin (or maybe without the coin) at www.google.com and some interesting things will come up.
