peter monahan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Now if only they can avoid the plating which makes most of our new medals look as if they belong on a WWF [wrestling] champion's belt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Actually the plating should be minimal since the mint has once again taken over medal production. Hopefully, gone are the days of cheap casted overplated monstruosities such as the SSM. The one thing I hope is that the award criteria won't be as horribly stupid as the previous jubilee medal.
