Comic Books
While many heroes debuted earlier, none can rival the cultural impact the origin and first appearance of Spider-Man had on Marvel's Silver Age. Currently the No. 1 book on Overstreet's list of Top 50 Silver Age Comics, Amazing Fantasy No. 15 also features the first appearances of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. This vibrant copy showcases the dynamic cover by legendary artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, who also provided the stunning interior artwork.

Space Exploration
This medal was one of 450 flown aboard the first manned moon landing in July 1969, alongside crewmembers Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. The obverse depicts Collins' original concept for the mission insignia, with the eagle carrying an olive branch in its mouth. NASA thought the eagle's open talons looked too "warlike," so the olive branch was moved to the claws. This is one of the only major official items that features the original insignia.

Fine Jewelry
This remarkable and historically significant 41.54-carat fancy dark brown-greenish yellow diamond represents the second-largest recorded example of a hydrogen-rich "whiskey colored" diamond. A museum-worthy jewel for the connoisseur of natural diamonds and rare phenomena, the cushion-cut stone is tailored for optimal brilliance and dramatic light play, and it's expertly mounted in a platinum ring with four robust 18k yellow gold prongs.
