...I am as happy as a pig in the sunshine!
I've been looking for one for an awful long time (I don't know if the emphasis should be on awful or long
) but I am glad i bit the bullet and got one.
Plus, the seller was great! I won the darn thing wednesday at noon I think, and had it in hand Friday. From North Carolina to Nebraska in 2 days. The old pony express made good time on that delivery.
I also think the coin looks better than the pics in the auction showed. Peg Leg Ike auction
So I am a happy camper! No more moaning and groaning from me about finding a "peg leg".
Now I have to get the difference between a fading leg and a squared off leg figured out.

<< <i>Congrats! Still waiting for mine
Yeah, but what yours lacks in speed it sure made up for it in price.

Very, very true! Just so nobody gets me wrong (especially the seller
BTW, my mailman never came today perhaps due to the snow. Is that normal? I've NEVER had a day without mail other than holidays and Sundays. Normally, I wouldn't care so much, but when there's coins coming, I want the mail

Both coins were great buys !!
A MS 64 would probally bring $ 450.00 +
Glad to hear it arrives safe and sound and you got that "Peg Leg Monkey" off your back!
Do pigs like sunshine?

What do you think a PCGS 65 or 66 bring?

A MS65 Peg Leg should be in the $ 600.00 to $ 700.00 range.
They have been underpriced since discovered.
When the peg leg becomes part of the registry, a MS66 coin, ( designated as such on the holder by PCGS ) would bring $ 10,000.00 +
I currently own 5 peg legs, and I have never found or owned anything higher than MS65. As a matter of fact, I have never seen a MS66 coin. If found, it would be a great rarity !!
I have bought from that seller, he is one of the fastest on delivery, and always lists PQ coins !!
Did your peg leg have the squared off peg leg ?
