The Iowa quarter depicts a one-room schoolhouse with a teacher and her students planting a tree. The design is based on "Arbor Day," a painting by Grant Wood, who was born near Anamosa, Iowa. He spent his career spreding the small-town values, which he shows in his paintings which are very well known. A simple cut-out, but I have found school teachers to be partial to this quarter. I finish these with Sterling Silver Earwires or Silver-Electroplated Clip-Ons. I also make these cut-outs available with or without the state name,"IOWA", cut-out across the top.
