    Got this email from the mint:


    "Regarding Your Recent Order
    Dear Valued Customer,
    Unfortunately there was a design description error printed inside the folder of the 2015 Coin and Chronicles Set – Lyndon B. Johnson. The text in the folder describing the silver medal reverse reads “The reverse includes the date of his inauguration: January 20, 1965.” The text should have read “The reverse includes the date the president first took office: November 22, 1963.” The Mint apologizes to its customers for this error."

    I have sent one my Johnson and a Franklin medal out to be attributed. Both appear to be double dies.

    @Treashunt Still working on the box, but maybe this will keep your attention for a little while.

    As did I on date. But far as I'm concern LBJ was a error anyway. Tricky Dicky/Gen Westmoreland well I'm lucky I lived with him as commander and chief.

    The mint needs to send out a sticker to be placed over the error.
    I know if the govmint found something like this by a business they (the regulating agency) would require immediate correction and a possible fine
