    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.

    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.

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

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

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    @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
