coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 2:56 pm Well a peg leg is an example of a polished die issue. Yours looks partly polished. But any Ike dollar that is polished down enough will look like that. case of give it a name and people will collect them. Just a polished die issue to me. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 3:10 pm You've got me. They are not a die variety. They are a die event that altered a normal die. Now they are polished. I don't keep them, but I'm a cent variety purist. Report this Post to the Staff
Novicecoins Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 6:53 pm Well thanks for the input. when I get a coin, I look it up in my errors book and see if that year had any known errors. They showed the 71 D being a Peg leg. So that's what I was wondering on. So do they really hold any value ? Or do people collect "Peg legs"? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 6:59 pm People save them, but I don't know if they sell or not? You might try this: On ebay, check the watch feature on them and see what they sell for. After getting several, you might get an average price for them. A lot of books out there telling people to look for these, but if there is no real premium, the ones selling the books are the only ones cashing in. Report this Post to the Staff

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 04:09 am Definitely! I have several and there are several different types of "Peg Legs" out there. I've already given my collection of "Ikes" to my sons but I still look for Peg Legs routinely. To learn more of the "Peg Leg Ikes", visit the Ike Group on line. Report this Post to the Staff
