@omxfl: Thanks for the heads up re: the images.
The page for the medal still lists the striking location as West Point, but the images clearly show a "P" mint mark. The West Point reference is probably in error.

The medal depicted on the cover of the booklet looks significantly different from the images of the actual medal, with a large dimple above and right of the chin. And a lot more darkness around the eyebrows. She looks a bit angry.
I think this will end up being more more pricey than last years medal with the inclusion of this booklet.

Oh, and the clothing looks quite different as well. Maybe that was an earlier version of the medal.

Just checked and the web site has been updated to reflect the "P" mint mark to match the images.

Maybe it's just me but why do we need all the extra "stuff" that comes with the product. If I want a coin/medal that's what I want...or at least make it an option instead of adding to the cost
