      General Notes: The Iowa commemorative half dollar, celebrating the 100th anniversary of The Hawkeye State, saw a huge run of more than 100,000 pieces. The coin was designed by medalist Adam Pietz and was distributed via a numismatically unconventional system of a lottery for Iowa residents who could buy the coin for $2.50 or to anyone outside Iowa through banks for $3 apiece, with just 5,000 coins allocated for non-Iowans. Another 500 coins were held aside for sale during the state's 150th anniversary in 1996, during which they were sold for $500. Another batch of 500 coins plus those unsold from the 1996 sales reprisal await sale during Iowa's bicentennial in 2046. <BR><BR> Most Iowa half dollars are in excellent condition, and many are known in Gem grades up through MS67, with MS68s very rare but available for a price. MS69s are known but are extremely rare and worth fantastic premiums. Most survivors of offer excellent luster.
