I was getting a little worried after people were getting hammered on their grades. Fortunately I got exactly what was expected, except for the 1967 sms which I figured would be a 67. The '71's is a "Peg Leg" Ike which will fit nicely with my MS64 '72'd Peg leg. I sent the SBA's in to see if I could accurately grade them and it looks like I can. Now I hope my Morgans, also received on the 7th of June, are graded before long. . . Thanks for looking!

Pretty nice grades. Where'd you find the wide rims?

Agflyer

I bought the wide rims from a local dealer whom I've known for years. He lets me occasionaly pick through his back room inventory and that's where I found these. I know of a couple more that would grade out at MS63. If you're interested, PM me.

Rick,

Congrats on a decent invoice. Is your 72-D peg attributed by PCGS? I've got a few in ANACS, but I didn't know PCGS would label them.

Congrats, nice job.

Nice grades! I have a modern submission in submitted on the 15th, so hopefully I will get the grades next week. I have a 67 50C SMS I'm hoping will grade 66DCAM.

Nice grades overall!!!

That MS65 Suzy is sweet!!!

I'm not familiar with "peg leg" Ikes. Does anyone have pics?

PCGS is very tight in the SMS coins right now - frankly downright stupidly tight. They're going to be seeing some of mine again once they re-enter the real world.

What's a peg leg Ike? Please put up a picture. Maybe I shouldn't have dipped my Ike's in acetone and put on the window sill in old envelopes.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

DHeath, neither one of my peg legs are attributed by PCGS. I know there has been some talk about PCGS recognizing them in the future, especially the '71-s business strike. As you already know, ANACS will attribute them, though there is still some controversy as to if the '72-d peg leg was the product of over polishing.

As for what these peg leg Ikes are all about, here's a link where Supercoin goes into some detail about the variety. Check out your 1972-s business strikes. They all have the peg legs and make for a good reference.
