Domain555 Pillar of the Community United States 1804 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 2:14 pm David Check out this 1974 S Eisenhower. The picture might be too small to see the left leg of the "R" in LIBERTY. Other peglegs are "CUT OF AT THE KNEE" Quiet radical. The nature of peggers is all over the place. If you have any interest you can study up on them. This is the only PIC I have in my bucket Report this Post to the Staff
Davidwriter New Member Canada 31 Posts	Posted 08/07/2014 10:03 am Domain555 is this really the coin you meant to show me? In the post you said it was a 1974 but this looks like a 1976. Anyway is the left leg of the "r" the same as in a 1974? Report this Post to the Staff
Domain555 Pillar of the Community United States 1804 Posts	Posted 08/07/2014 10:09 am david, you are correct The coin shown is a 1976 Not a 1974 This 1976 pegleg is the only one I have in my bucket. Sorry about that Report this Post to the Staff
Davidwriter New Member Canada 31 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 10:10 am I'm not really familiar with U.S. coins. Are these "peglegs" common? Do they appear only on dollar coins or are they on others as well? Report this Post to the Staff
Davidwriter New Member Canada 31 Posts	Posted 08/09/2014 09:15 am Back to the original topic of toning. Is there good natural toning and bad natural toning? How can I tell the difference? Report this Post to the Staff

Do they appear only on dollar coins or are they on others as well? I am a 7 month newbie here. 99% of my knowledge is with Ikes. Have about zero knowledge of other coins. Some peglegs are very rare Some are rare Some are scarce Some are common One example of very rare is the ESKIMO BOOT pegleg Some are DESIGNER peglegs. Others are die-state, die-abrasion, or die polished. This grouping has PROGRESSION attributes. Report this Post to the Staff
HuguesGervais Valued Member Canada 74 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 3:39 pm Hi guys, I HuguesGervais and just joined the forum. @sweetswede @artdio @doubleeagle59 I never AT, alter or dip coin. I mostly buy (and sell) toned and when toning in uninteresting, I sell them quickly/cheap which mean I am left with the best toned coin. They are my personal collection and if I can make some profit, then I increase my collection. I am bidding at most auction on toned coins. Note: My full-time job is to sell fingerprint scanners and buying/selling coins is a hobby. I also a very photographer which help to show the real colour of toner coin. I am using Nikon camera with macro lens, and single source light which help to remove ICCS holder reflection. This help to bring the colour. @doubleeagle59 Agreed. PCGS is more strict on toning than ICCS. @AgCoinAu Same comment. I don't AT or alter coin. If I did, I will have more on sales. In most case, I bought theses coins already graded from other auction with toning already present @jerry Thanks. @Domain555 I know. Too many WOW. I am French speaking so my use of adjectives is not too good. Often I see description in auction and would like to be able to come-up with these description. @mdwoods Yes exactly. And if they don't sell, they are still my collection. But I don't sell any, then I cannot make some profit and increase my collection. Something, it's difficult to let go of the coin.
