The leg on the R looks slightly flared, but it also seems thinner than a fresh die.

1971-S-Proof-Ike:-Peg-Leg-Or-Not?

Coin is currently soaking in pure acetone. It was a bit hazy, and also looks like it was handled over the years. But I paid ten bucks for a coin that's currently at sixteen bucks melt, so I think I did okay. =)

Thanks, guys. =)

I didn't realize that the Variety Vista obverse design page was so detailed for Ike dollars. I had only read the Ike group article linked by Jbuck, but it's a lot of information to digest.

Given the coin's condition, I imagine that this falls into the "fun to have" bucket rather than providing any additional monetary value.

That is probably a safe assumption. I would certainly not be complaining though.

Indeed. Silver is silver, and I am an enthusiast of both President Eisenhower and the reverse design of the coin. It has excellent heft. =)
