    It's a mind blowing coin in hand as I've seen it.

    The slab really needs to be polished and the white balance adjusted to really appreciate it.

    I tried polishing the slab before shooting it, the scratches are too deep for just plastx to remove.

    This is one of two I have owned. I bought one for my wife and gave it to her for her birthday and I've now purchased one for me. My wife and I went to college in Iowa, which would be where I met her, so it holds a lot of meaning for me. I've actually never seen this in hand. It is sitting in the envelope, unopened, in the safe deposit box as a reward for getting through the CFA level 2 test in June. Night of June 4th I get to see it. Photos courtesy of Broadstruck (who was the previous owner).

    I see a couple of nice Iowa's so I'll put mine here. This was sold to a dealer at FUN by a poster here, who was in the process of buying a couple of pieces from me, I picked it up after FUN. It's a small commem world.
