<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brinssig, post: 26749833, member: 12147&quot;]I got my medal a few days ago.&nbsp; There are quite a few errors on the medal.&nbsp; I wish I had something to take a picture of it but I don&#039;t have anything to take a picture.&nbsp; There appears to be blobs on the date of the medal.&nbsp; What is really noticeable is the doubling on the letters on the outer edge of the medal which is very extreme.&nbsp; It starts at the &quot;S&quot; in MADISON and goes all the way to the &quot;L&quot; in ALABAMA.&nbsp; There is also what appears to be a shadow around Lady Liberty and the stars.&nbsp; The shadow looks like clashing but it doesn&#039;t match up with anything on the back of the medal.&nbsp; I contacted someone at the MCCC News Letter who told me the coin probably shifted while it was being struck.&nbsp; I can see how that would cause doubling but I&#039;m not sure how that would cause blobs on the date.&nbsp; He offered for me to exchange the medal for one that doesn&#039;t have errors on it that would look better.&nbsp; It is a difficult decision.&nbsp; I would prefer to have one that is nicer looking but there may also be more collector interest in one that has errors on it.&nbsp; I&#039;m curious if these errors are common on these medals or if there were not that many medals made with these errors on it.&nbsp; My medal is numbered &quot;44.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
