MS diarrhea. Would you like some TP with that coin?

I like unique and I wouldn't even buy it.

 

I am shocked at a 69. The coin probably shows much better in hand than in the photos, and I wouldn't have been too surprised at a 66-67, but 69 seems outrageous to me.

 

Holy Mackerel, I've never seen a circulation grade commem (classic) go higher than an '68. I'd love to see this one in hand.

 

I'm new after a 50 year layoff.

I'm still learning the "new, toned, grading style". I guess I REALLY don't know anything about the modern coin business. Long way to go.

What did you mean that most of these issues strike up '66 or better? Do you mean Iowa commems? Or completely dark coins? Thanks

 

The Iowa's Rick. Great care was taken when handling them. In fact, the State of Iowa has a few locked away and slated to be released on the bicentennial (Iowa).
