    Fake. That date is all wrong among other issues. Was this someone's idea of a joke?

    My guess is they used a "stock" photo.

    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.

    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 overheard a person getting opinions from Steve Feltner at the show for some of his raw gold. There were a couple counterfeits in the group.

    Would definitely be interesting to hear the "back story" on that one!

    And where was the editorial and printing? A subliminal message from China perhaps?

    Definitely save your copy (or copies) of that show guide... Could become an exonumia collectible. Cheers, RickO

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

    “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

    @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
