I attended the Charlotte, N.C. show today, and found several Peg Leg Ikes : 1974-D, 1978-D, 1977-D, 1976-D-Type # 2, and four ( 4 ),
Proof 1971-S Peg Legs.
However, no 1972-P- Type # 2 raw coins. I stayed all day, and looked at every Ike at the show.

    Nice job on the Peg-Legs!

    Don't feel bad about not findng a Type 2......they are getting REALLY hard to find! Too many people have been
    searching for them for many years. The raw supply of them is drying up fast!image

    Nice score! I believe these are much tougher than this.

    Gary, good job on the business strike peg leg. I have been searching for many years, and have found only one in the last three years.
    I don't have a digital camera, so could someone post a picture of one, so that the other members could see how they look ?

    I think that I will keep them raw until PCGS adds them to the registry. The 1972-D is not that hard to find, slightly more difficult than the 1971-S proof peg leg. The other peg leg Ikes are much more difficult.
    The 1971-S business strike is very, very hard to find.
