<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 532570, member: 4626"]Just noticed this, as I was looking at the Mint's website.

Seriously, is this that hard to proofread?! It doesn't take more than a glance at Mint literature to figure out that each individual first lady gets a medal. Sadly Whitman has the only commercial album for the first spouse medals that I know of. I suppose I can see if they have blank or relabeled pages, or just relabel them by hand. Bugs the heck out of me that couldn't get something that simple right.[/QUOTE]
