Whoever oversaw the "artwork" for the cover really messed up.
I agree. A graphic artist who is not a coin collector designed the cover using stock pictures found on the internet.
That would mean the artist and all the CSNS professionals that approved the cover before it went to the printers. Somebody who should have know didn’t. Maybe what calculators and iPads have done to students, slabs have done to coin collectors.

@burfle23 good day my friend. I can't get this ANACS # 7000094036 below the barcode to verify. And the barcode does not work. Can you enlighten me based on these pics. Thanks for what you do here. Peace Roy

Fake. That date is all wrong among other issues. Was this someone's idea of a joke?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Incredible. Simply incredible.

My guess is they used a "stock" photo.

Ouch, that is not a good look.

Truth in advertising? Bound to be some fakes on sale, whether intentional or not...
Thanks, @burfle23 - this should serve as a reminder for collectors to be on the lookout for fakes, wherever they happen to be shopping for coins.
Failure of the editorial process.
I’m not sure about the German either.
All I can say is unbelievable.
Would definitely be interesting to hear the "back story" on that one!
Embarassing.
And where was the editorial and printing? A subliminal message from China perhaps?
Maybe the back story, or the inspiration for the cover image...
Someone ought to step up and "OWN" this.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
Good grief….
I agree. This is pretty horrendous.
Little bit unsettling. Hate to be "that" person.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
I hope someone from 'Central States' steps up with an acknowledgement/explanation.... Certainly is warranted. Cheers, RickO
Has anyone contacted CSNS, and confirmed that they are aware of the issue?
They are...
Thanks !!!
That little booklet could be the next big collectible. Cult following
Definitely save your copy (or copies) of that show guide... Could become an exonumia collectible. Cheers, RickO
Are they on eBay yet?
This is bad news.
It just proves that the inmates have finally taken over the prison.

What an embarrassment. Iowa, of course, is in the CSNS and 1846 was year of Iowa's, the "Hawkeye" state, admission to the Union.
More times than you can count.
