Hi guy's. Today, cherrypicking I hunted down three Peg Legs! Now all I have to do is figure out which ones they are?


1971s Brown box


1972s Brown box


1972s Blue Env.

    How 'bout the '71 Proof Ike? Like I have? No Pegs, for any other years huh? :)

    I asked a similar question before. Peg Leg is on business strikes.
    Proofs can be half and half for some years or at least 1. I was told these proof pegs are just a minor variety. The 71 S 40% silver business Strike is the only cherry picker recognized according to CP volume 2

    Maybe, these are new discoveries? Since not in the CPG?

    A bit more than 25% of the 1971-S proof are peg legs by design with little value over & above the "funny foot".

    All 1972 silver coins are peg legs by design. 1972 & 1972-D circulation strikes come Both ways with the 1972 Type 1 peg leg being a rarity. Or should I say it is found with exceedingly uncommonality?

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
