I really appreciate your honesty of what it is your self on collecting and also how a collection could be build.  Quote:
Personally I start like you and then I switch to varieties. I will get there some day. I do have one in my graded set, a 1971-S DDO. |

I do not have DD's but varieties causes by polish. Hard to say how many around or how many are in accumulations or already melted.

I am glad you are interested in varieties and I welcome you here because is need such members. If that welcome was directed at me, thank you very much. I enjoy Ikes. The challenge for me in this series is to find higher grade examples. The varieties, various die clashes, etc. are added spice to me. So, I do sometimes get excited - even over those "rather pedestrian" die events, to use my term. The more I learn about this series, I realize there's even more I have to discover. So, if you're ever at a show and see that lone guy pouring over a box of raw Ikes, it might be me. |

Yes was addressed to you, except the maybe wrong understand of "pedestrian", but this is nothing. Higher examples? it is a challenge. The IKE series was not well coming by the collationers in time, so the mints do not pay to much attention. It is a fact. For me the Ike dollar was a peace of art of creation but to complicated for the time and the Mint technology was lacking in that time. Today will be a perfect coin. Some times I come to shows. Not offend like before because many of the old generation past away so the new generation I do not know them well and me I am conservator. I collect only design varieties till 2000: Dollars (miss 3 on IKE, on the photo I load upper is no" 3,7 and 8), Halves (miss 2) and Quarters (miss 3). Then if I will can stay on this world I want to move to Nickels. Thanks for your replay. Edited by silviosi

I really love this coin community site, I have learned a lot. But I am still wondering if this particular coin is worth getting certified as a "peg leg" Ike?

I am still wondering if this particular coin is worth getting certified as a "peg leg" Ike? Do a quick search on ebay for sold auctions with the 1971-S proof peg leg. You'll see this isn't a high-dollar coin. Also, I don't believe either PCGS or NGC provide a peg leg attribution for the proof strikes. In any case, you'll have more into the fees and shipping than the coin is worth. You have a nice example of an abraded peg leg in its OGP. Keep it and enjoy it for what it is. Welcome to the crazy world of Ike collecting. There's so much more to look for in the series than the peggers. Enjoy the hunt! |

Not sure about NGC. jbuck, I took a quick look on NGC VarietyPlus. Looks like they only attribute the unc coins. Exrider, it's great to have you along for the ride. I can't wait to hear about your future discoveries and acquisitions. All the best to you. |

Call ANACS to see if they attribute. VSS will attribute the variety, slab 'it but not grad.
