hcmusicguy Quote:These 2 IKEs are peggers, I think. Particularly the one on top. BTW my camera is messed up chromatically speaking. Both are toned, but not near that much tone. I have some toners, but before I can-will-should sell them, on ebay, I need to get a new Camera.   |

Well I didn't pick up on any peg legs, but I did notice as I was going through them that one of the 1978's from the first haul is actually a proof. It has toning (part of which is finger prints I'm sure) and the surface is rather ugly; it has clearly not lead an easy life. But looking closely you sort of make out what's left of the mirrored surface in the fields.....and it's an S mintmark. This would be a perfect pocket piece candidate, but it's going in the Dansco for now.
I also found a nice upgrade for my 1976D-Type 1 in the lot as well.

I also found a nice upgrade for my 1976D-Type 1 in the lot as well. Thanks for the up-date on your peggers. I try to ask all CCFers on their 1976 D type 1 coins. For reasons unknown to me I received a bag that had more that a few 1976 D type one with PEG LEGS. The only plausible reason I can guess, was it might be a 373 UNC bag that had someone just DUMPED to a bank,  Of the APPROX 373 in question, most were pegs, most were toned, to one degree less-more. Again, thanks for the info  Funny thing about this bag, when I picked it up from the bank, I was so numb with glee, I never saw the rich number of toned coins in the UN-opended bag, until I started taking them out.  BTW my personal favorite coin in the bag was a 1977 (P) very toned coin, along with a 1978 (D?)  |

I picked up 6 ikes at a credit union the other day. Nothing noteworthy, I'm simply trying to accumulate enough to fill booklets for each of my 3 kids with AU-condition coins and wanted to keep this thread alive!
One of my coworkers brought in a 1972 AU Ike for me today, too. I gladly handed him US currency in exchange. :)
Happy Ike hunting all!

I have asked a few times at my bank for Ike's and still no luck. I will never give up! All the tellers and vault manager know my name now so maybe if they get something interesting they will save it for me, who know..
