CHOO CHOO's ANA Convention Medals

Owner Comments:

This 19mm bronze is really strange. Comparing the design with the 38mm medals, if you look closely at the central skyscraper on the obverse, it appears to be leaning slightly to the left beginning about one-third of the way up. The same appears to be true for the smaller buildings just to the right of the freeway exit ramp. On the reverse, the central column of the mission appears to be leaning to the right. I would imagine that the black splotches might have had something to do with the lower grade, but all of this reminds me of damage you might expect to see from an earthquake.

I was considering submitting this medal for conservation, but I think I'll leave it just the way it is.
