The 1946 Iowa Statehood Centennial Half Dollar, struck to commemorate Iowa's 100th anniversary of statehood, boasts a mintage of just 100,000 pieces, making it a semi-key date within the series. Designed by the renowned sculptor and engraver, John R. Sinnock, the coin features a depiction of the state’s iconic corn stalks and the state motto, emphasizing its historical significance. This particular example is graded as Choice, showcasing exceptional luster and surface preservation, which are critical for discerning collectors. Given its limited mintage and the increasing interest in commemorative issues, this coin holds considerable appeal for both type collectors and those focusing on Iowa-related numismatics. As a piece that encapsulates both state pride and numismatic artistry, it is an essential addition for any serious collection.
