1946 Iowa Commemorative Half (50c)

Bright, flashy, and totally original, this MS66+++++ Iowa lights up with vibrant cartwheel luster and crisp frost across both sides. The fields and devices are remarkably clean for the issue, with only a tiny tone fleck in the right reverse field to note. Subtle champagne at the rims adds a pleasing contrast to the otherwise brilliant surfaces, and the strike is full and even. Housed in a PCGS holder with a well-deserved gold CAC sticker, this example brings serious eye appeal without the usual distractions.
