Saw this today in a Facebook group dedicated to the MPC. It's pretty shocking. On the left is the original artifact. On the right is the one they are currently offering with the experience.

Wow... that’s too bad. I honestly thought of picking this one up, but looking at that?

If you join the Facebook group Mysterious Package Society and see the response from Jason Kapalka, you'll be pretty pissed off. He seems like a total jackass.

Wow, that's rather dramatic. Like a pale imitation of the original (literally based on the color).

I can't see the post. I requested to join but my request is pending...supposedly you need to be invited by a current member to get access.

I've personally never seen one that looks like the one on the left in the top post. Mine looks quite similar to wortelboer's. And I am quite happy with it. But the one on the right in the top post looks really bad. All kinds of detail missing. And I'm hearing other recent recipients say that theirs was similar to this.

This is interesting. My pre-order original, which I'm looking at now, is similar in color to wortelboer's but has much more weathering on it, similar to the one on the left in the top post. Sort of a hybrid of the two pictures, I guess. But yes, as Todd said, the lack of detail is dramatic.

Oh, my artifact looks more like the one on the left: worn and scruffy. It's good, and there's plenty of detail.

So here's what mine looks like: photos.app.goo.gl/s88wXDsSxOiUhWRx2As you can see, it looks pretty weathered but not as much as the photo on the left. I'm still very happy with it for sure, and it's clearly significantly better than the one in the photo on the right. I still think my favorite thing is actually the cavity and the extreme weathering done on the inside.

I had the pre-order, and mine is definitely the more weathered style...

I’d be curious to know what the logic was in changing the coin, and when that happened.
