Apollo 15 (AS-510) Hadley Rille
Insurance Covers: The Apollo 15 MSCSC "secondary" insurance covers (Type II) are certainly genuine,
but not the most popular or well-known type. Because the cachets used on them were also available to col-
lectors at that time, it's possible that some seen were cancelled for the flight and then later signed by the
crews, which of course, would not make them insurance covers.
That's the problem with the secondary insurance covers: the cachets and covers are exactly identical to
those that were actually created and used as insurance covers, but also were made available to space col-
lectors and could have been signed after the mission.
But those Apollo 15 covers that come with a letter from Mrs. Irwin stating that they are insurance covers
ARE insurance covers.
