This STS-74 medal was brought to my attention. It has the the obverse of a cheap STS-74 medal but the reverse of the STS-71/Mir medal.
Has anyone heard of such a medal or is this a fake?

For what it's worth, the same company that produced the shuttle mission medals also made the STS-71 Shuttle-Mir flown-metal medals for Spaceflight Awareness. Galaxy Medals of Titusville, Florida produced both.

Just to let everyone know this ended up being two medals glued together. Why someone would do that is beyond me.

Well, that's just plain weird.
