Okay, so I was reading SemperFi's post on the RDV-006 for the 1971-D dollars and it got me curious and interested.
Today, I left work early to go to the coin shop in case they were closing for Hurricane Ivan. Turns out they are staying open for normal hours.
Anyway, as usual, they had a box of roughly 2,000 IKEs. I searched EVERY SINGLE ONE. I do this every now and then in case I find something intersting. Usually, I find only one coin to buy.
This time around, I was searching for allot of things and came up with these below. Some pictures follow.
1. Out of maybe 500 1971-D IKEs, I found 4 of the RDV-006 varieties. Am very happy about these, now I just need more information on them. All of these are uncs.
2. I found 2 1972-D Peg Leg IKEs. These are uncs, but dirty. And, for $2.00, I could afford it.
3. I found a very nice, MS65 quality (PCGS standards), 1974-D Peg Leg! Pictured below.
4. This is a new one on me, but it stuck out like a sore thumb when I was searching. A Type 1 1972-P Peg Leg! Also pictured below. I went back and search through another maybe 100 type 1 and 3 IKEs in the box and none were like this. Does anyone know anything about these?
Thanks, Richard.

That 74-D looks like a 66. What does the rev look like?
The thing about the Ike series, there are so many different varieties and errors, that trying to find them in high grades can be a problem and one hell of a search. I only know a little about the Peg Legs. I do not know the rarity of any of them but I do know if you come across them hold on to them. I am sure someone here can add their input.
