Are 1978D peg leg Ikes common? *PICS ADDED*

I was at DefCon in Las Vegas recently and as usual I was hitting cash cages for Ikes (friend collects em in any condition).

Over the few days I got 40 out of Hilton and noticed 26 of the 40 were abraded die peg leg types (yep kept em).

The Ikes stood out because most I get out of casinos are milled in the slot machines, but these appeared to be from a new bag (all were 1978D, no other dates or mint).

I believe the really tough one to find is the 1977D, but is the 1978D really this common or did the cash cage pay out better than the tables.

*Attached are a random sample of 5 of them with a closeup of the R*

Don't know why the scanner went to greyscale on this one

  • I "DO" Ikes, but have yet to "pick" either 77D or 78D; nice find!

    Yes, the 78D's are unusual to find!

    Post some pics when you get a chance and very nice SCORE!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Bumped because adding images does not reset the timer.
  • Nice pics, and a great find. I just got out of the ANACS pops and there is a grand total of 1(MS64), no others.... Yeah, I'd say that you did MUCH better in the back room.

    And now the million dollar question...

    Is it worth it to send these off to ANACS for grading and encapsulation?

  • Sure, I'd submit em, ANACS is running a special right now until Sept 1st; they have a 10 coin minimum, but you're covered.
