Call me a noob...but, what's a "Peg Leg" Ike?

SemperFI

1971-S PCGS PR69DCAM Silver Peg-Leg
Very clean surfaces.


1971-S ANACS PR67 Silver Peg-Leg DDO-008 FS-015.8
This one is a little dark because of the lack of Cameo. Has a nice ring of toning on both sides.



I found two other 1971-S Peg Leg Proofs with DDO. One is the DDO-022/DDR-WH1 and the other is a DDR-WH2. Both are in their Mint cases still.

Here are a couple SemperFI.

Just looked through my Ike book and found the following:

71S peg leg
72S BU peg leg
72 S Proof peg leg
all Type 1 76 peg legs
76S BU silver peg leg
76S Proof silver peg leg
78 S PRoof Oh soooo close and might just be there, DCAM to boot, Looks like JRocco's zoomed in 'R'

What should I be looking for on the DDO????????????.........Rick

Rick, If your 71S is a BU Peg Leg, then you have a rare coin. All the 72s are Pegs as are the 76s I think.

Rampage

You may want to add 77D to your list. I just found one today.

SemperFI

Rampage,

How are you so lucky? Where did you find it? How is the grade?

-matt

edit: post some pics of your Peg Legs. Do they differ from the rest of the Peg Legs?

21Walker

Hello Rampage, nope, it is the 71S Proof.........Rick

IKEs are very plentiful here in town, so I always have good sources to check on. The 77D is a low grade unc but has minor damage. But, for $1.25, I could not pass it up (just in case it is a rarity). If it turns out to be common, I only lost a quarter.

I will post scans of all my peg legs tomorrow.

SemperFI

21Walker,
The easiest way to look for the DDO that I mentioned above is to look at the "IN GOD WE TRUST". The all have strong doubling that is separated NorthWest.


Rampage,
Can't wait to see the pics. Keep posting them tho. Maybe we will get our names in the next Ike Book for finding all of these varietys.

-matt

haletj

Oh. The R has a peg for a leg. I was thinking Ike did, but then thought wait, his legs don't show on the coin, maybe it's one of the eagle's leg.

21Walker

Rampage, Thanks for the response......I'll check it out tomorrow as 4AM is approaching quickly......if I get some time tomorrow after noon, I will try to take some pix, especially of the 78S........Ta Ta

Rampage

Yep, 4AM for me, too.

I should have time tomorrow as my afternoon class I go to has been cancelled. So, all I have to do is go to work and then come home.

I got to looking at my IKES and this 1971S PCGS MS65 appears to be a DDO with a sort of maybe a peg-leg on the R.
But the double strike effect sort of mangled the R a little on the leg.
Is this a DDO and or a peg leg?

earlwbollinger

oops, I forgot to post this image of a 1972S pegleg.

pharmer

interesting thread

DHeath

Earl, your 71-S is machine doubled, and is not a doubled die. It is also a normal R, and not the peg leg. The 72-S IS a nice peg leg.

SemperFI

Sorry, Keep looking tho. You have a machine doubled coin there and it is not a Peg Leg R.
Also, the 1972-S Peg Leg is normal as all 1972 S have a Peg Leg. If you find a Non-Peg Leg 1972 S, then you have something.




<< <i>NOTE: All 1976 P + D Type 1 + 1976 S MS have the Peg-Leg

Bummer, thanks guys

Rampage

Here are some of my peg legs (at least they look like it to me) I promised to show, as well as my best 1971-D RDV-06 IKE.

Any thoughts?? Thanks, Richard.

Rampage

ttt for Matt.

SemperFI

Rampage,

It looks like you have something. The serifs are different than what they should be. I think you have some real Peg Leg keepers! I like the 74D! How does the reverse look?

The reverse looks as good as the obverse. I would grade it MS65.

richbeat

I'm not an Ike expert but I was curious, why are there no '73 peg legs?

SemperFI

Richbeat,

Why there aren't any 73 Peg Legs? Well, either because we have not found any yet or that die variety was never used. Keep looking and maybe we can find one.

richbeat

SemperFI:

Thanks for the reply. I don't come across Ikes too often, but I will keep my eyes open!

SMS

I'm curious. I noticed that in the first post there are asteriks (*) next to a few dates. Are those the ones that you consider to be the more "rare" specimens?

I've got over a thousand Ikes to go through, but in a sampling of 100 circulated ones, I found:

1 1976-D Type I
1 1971-D peg-leg
1 1972-D peg-leg
2 1974-D peg-leg

Going through a few of my blue packs and brown packs, I found:

1 1971-S Brown pack peg-leg


What do you use for your die variety reference? is it online or hardcovered? thanks!

SemperFI

Check to see if that 1971 D pegleg is a type 2. See my sig.

The asterics are for the ones we have images for. I haven't updated it since I have been deployed.

SMS

The 1971-D peg leg wasn't a RDV-06. Are those fairly rare? If so, what kind of premium would be fair to pay to get one in circulated condition? Thanks.

SemperFI

I don't think any exist. Just checking to see if you had one. That would be cool if you did.

Gandyjai

OK Ike Peg-Leggers....
I know a 76-P & D are supposed to be "Normal" Peg-Legs.....But they
can also be found with a "Faded Peg-Leg" or, as I like to call it...a "Peg Leg Peg Leg"

I haven't figured out how to post a pic here yet, so I listed one for auction and put together
a couple of pics at differnt angles comparing it to a "Normal" Peg Leg 76-D Type 1.

eBay #3959560344....What do you think?
