Purchase this on Heritage Live for the Long Beach show. However, since I collect commems, I had to sit through many hours of other coins until 10:30 pm when commems final began to be auction. I paid a little more for this one than I wanted to, but I love it's look and its low pop. Please comment, Thanks

    Didn't you just mention that your working on a MS64/MS65 set... So how does a MS67 fit image

    That's a very pretty coin. I love the Eagle design on the Iowa commem.

    Yeah, the 50 Piece commemoratives set I'm doing is mostly MS64's and MS65's but for super common ones, I would go MS66, and I wanted just one MS67 example.

    Thanks, but I am a dealer and was just going to stock it. It's not that I was looking for one, in particular.

    Too much tarnish....needs a good cleaning! I'd crack it out and scrub it with brillo, then re-submit it. Probably would get a 68+ and two greenbeans! image

    I guessed MS-67 before I scrolled down to the slab with the grade on it.

    With all due respect this coin is common in high grade, and while I’ve not looked up the MS-65 or 66 price, I’d be just as happy with an example in those gradews as a collector. As a registry person, I’d want a higher grade, but I’ve long given up trying to please the registry mavens given the rules of the game.

    Beautiful commem.

    I have one in an NGC holder.

    Debating whether to keep it in the NGC slab, crack it & send in raw or maybe send for crossover in it's current holder.

    Commems do tend to grow on you.

    Nice catch. image
