Which is the one (or both) that we are pushing PCGS to grade as Peg Leg?

DDO-006
DDO-007

    Wexler's, "The Authoritative Reference on Eisenhower Dollars" shows the DDO-007 as the rare business strike peg leg to own. I suppose that's the one we hope that PCGS will recognize. We'll see?
    I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!

    If you see the photo carefully, I don't think the DDO-006 is a Peg Leg. I can see a small curve of R at the end. I don't know why ANACS slabbed this "not completed" die polished coin as Peg Leg...... image

    I say add BOTH of them!!!! I have examples of both types in PCGS MS63-64-65-66! I might even sell a few if the price is right.

    The ANACS DDO 7 pictured in the E-Bay auction, is different than the DDO 7 listed in Wexler.

    I'm not sure that I would classify either as a true peg leg, but that's just me.

    James,

    Can you show us what you consider a true Peg Leg?

    Thanks, GrandAm image

    From the photo, I can't tell whether the DDO-007 matches with the DDO-007 listed in Wexler. Usually, we are looking for Pirate leg like Peg Leg coin. All DD0-007 that I saw are from a different die and with Pirate leg.

    Gary,

    I'll bring them to CSNS.

    It's the Wexler DDO 7, which JC points out is a perfectly straight leg (the leg that makes a P and R - the leg that normally has the long curved serif).

    Hope that helps.

    Depending on what gets recognized, it looks like somebody (or a lot of somebody's) are going to be disappointed, no matter what the decision is. Wouldn't it behoove PCGS to broaden the definition of what a "peg leg" is a bit, to be more inclusive? Just wondering image

    BTW,
    If "extra leaves" on a ear of corn and a spear through a Bison can be reconized so fast why is it taking so long for the 71-S Peg Leg? image

    The DDO-OO7 coin shows a light spread of doubling on In god we trust, liberty, the outer hair, and the last 1 of the date.
    In addition, the actual peg leg is different on the ANACS coin.

    So are you saying the two coins at auction aren't peg legs?


    These d@#n "pegleg"'s get me more confused by the minute.

    It is not the DD0-007, regardless of what the holder mighy say. I have enhanced the picture as much as possible, and in my opinion it looks to be the result of die polishing. I will not bid on that coin !

    Personally, I don't consider the DDR-006 as a Peg Leg coin. I can't tell whether the ANACS DDR-007 is indeed a DDR-007 listed in Wexler based on the photo. Need to examine it in person.

    Well,,,,,, I see that the bidder in the (2) eBay auctions J.C. posted a link to at the top of this thread has "pulled" his bid on both coins. He must me a Forum member and all the talk here has scared him off. The bidder ID is " me_in_ne" Anybody know if he is a Forum member?

    ANACS has attributed these coins so I don't see how they could be wrong?

    No disrespect intended to the bidder of the ANACS coins.

    Actually I myself am now totally confused. I have many Peg Legs that match the Wexler Book in my opinion. I am going to Central States next week so I will take several of them and get some "expert" opinions there.

    This statement is dangerous, IMO.

    GrandAm, take a look the Peg Leg coin James has. James knew what the DDO-007 (from a different die) is.

    The DDO-006 in the auction is actually closer to being a Wexler DDO-007 than the 007 auction is.image

    I do not believe that ANACS is using the Wexler files to attribute this coin.....Maybe CONECA?
    It does not match what I look for when I'm looking for a Peg Leg DDO-007. JMHOimage

    Guys,

    Close is for hand grenades and horseshoes, not Ikes.

    If close counts, let me know, and I'll fill you up with the near big dollar varieties.

    Happy to look at anyone's Type II (Peg leg) 71-S at Central States.

    Both coins do not qualify as the rare peg leg that was discovered by James Sego . I own 5 peg leg coins , and only 1 true DD0-007.
    The rest are a result of die polishing. The " true " peg leg is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIE than the rest, and looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
  • coinshuntercoinshunter Posts: 202 ✭✭
    Would you guys show us a picture of what what you call the "true peg leg"?
    Thanks

    I'm out for a week, so no scanner. Even so, I can't get close enough detail.

    Go to the Wexler book, has some great pics of the coin.

    Based on CONECA Ike dollar
    There are only one Peg Leg of MS 1971-S Ike dollar, the DDR-009, a.k.a. 9-O-I-CW (3).
    The CONECA DDR-006 is for Proof Ike dollar and CONECA DDR-007 is with serif R.

    I don't know how ANACS assigned the two coins, one as DDR-006 and the other as DDR-007.
