Benson's Commemorative Medallion

Has anyone else picked up their Tom Benson Commemorative Medallion? I just got mine...it's pretty cool til you actually open it up and see his mug on it. It's not a bad pic, and his wife isn't hanging off him (well, she probably is but they cropped her off) but it was shocking in a disturbing kind of way to see. I think I'll leave it in the packaging sleeve as it looks best that way.

It is pretty cool though. He'll be throwing a few out on the Endymion Route, so fight for one.

The headshot is a color sticker they stuck to the center of one side of the coin. It's really odd.

Otherwise, the coin is pretty cool.

I was wondering why they have that skyscraper on the coin then realized its Benson's building.
Building his legacy on coin at a time!
