A San Francisco Mystery - Bridge Medal in 1890 awarded to Grace Jackson - or Oliver?

Samuel Bridge Medal awarded to Grace Jackson in 1890
Silver, 34mm, 15.04gm

The Samuel Bridge silver medals were awarded to the top male students of San Francisco grammar schools from 1879 to 1915. The boys were usually 14 or 15 years old.

A similar medal, the Denman Medal, was awarded to the top female students from 1889 to 1915.

The medals were first struck from 1879 to 1890 at the Philadelphia Mint. In 1890 the Mint stopped striking private medals and shipped the dies to San Francisco. From 1891 to 1906 they were struck at Albert Kuner's firm using these dies. Kuner died in early 1906 and later an earthquake destroyed his firm's shop, dies, and records. From 1907 to 1915 they were struck at Robert Schaezlein's firm using dies he created.

The medals were made of silver, 34mm in diameter, weighed 15 to 21 grams, and usually had an attachment or a loop. Planchets of different thickness were used accounting for the varying weights. The award year was punched into the medal and the recipient's name was engraved.

The Report of the Superintendent of Common Schools of the City and County of San Francisco for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1890 lists all of the Bridge and Denman medal awardees for 1890.

No "Grace Jackson" is listed for either the Bridge or Denman medals but there is an "Oliver M. Jackson" listed as an 1890 Bridge Medal recipient for the Lincoln Evening School.

Is it possible that the wrong name was engraved on the medal and that the recipient could not obtain a corrected medal due to limited stock of blank medals on hand?
