I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

<< <i>I would agree with you. The funny thing is they are both the same year and mint mark and if I am not mistaken, which I certainly could be, 1972-P strikes do not have a peg leg die state. >>
The 1972-S 40% Business Strike does though.
There is some speculation that a design pegleg hub was inadvertantly used on a serif die.
On the R above, it appears as if there's a pegleg (which there is) but since die abrading affects the fields, the peg is the result of "hubbing" since the peg portion is on the depest portion of the die.
Serifs, on the other hand, are on the shallowest part of the die (the field).
