PBS

After I had already ordered the OSIRIS-REx coin set. There was a program on PBS all about the OSIRIS-REx and the retrieval of specimens from an asteroid.
When I received the coin set, I was very impressed with the coins and the information provided. They are fine fit in my space coin collection.
Thank you
Sincerely
Ralph F Bock Jr
PS: With the importance of the mission. I was hoping the coins would be larger.
