America's second human space flight launched Virgil Grissom 118 miles into space for a 15-minute ballistic trajectory that would land him in the Atlantic Ocean 302 statute miles downrange from Cape Canaveral. During Gus' wait after landing the hatch inadvertently blew off the capsule causing water to fill the spacecraft. As Gus exited and the capsule sunk to the bottom of the ocean there emerged a legend in the space collectible community, the Liberty Bell 7 dimes.
