Rotated reverse on Peace medal in C&C Lewis and Clark Set

I just got my Set today and was looking it over for errors, BTW The Commemorative Dollar is at least a MS69.Possibly a 70 I dont see a tic on it with 5x magnification.The Sac is mirrored about a MS65 with a few problems ,The nickels are typical mint set quality,nothing to brag about .Then, I noticed the replica Peace Medal has a 5 % clockwise rotated reverse.The E in PEACE is centered instead of the A. And B4 you ask,Yes I know that the holder can rotate.When I got it, all the coins needed to be reorientated to thier proper position.
Thats when I noticed it.It's not going to bring any extra value to the set,I was just wondering if any body else had the same thing imageWith a mintage of 50k maybe the peace medal has some potential.I think the mint did a good job designing this, but the price is too
high for what we get for our money.
Worth about $70 IMHO.They shoulda done the right thing and made the nickels Matte Finish.Yeah!
Oh well, there's always next year.I better start saving up for it now!image
