cladboy Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 5:25 pm I was going through a box of raw Ikes to thin the herd. I gave the culls one last close look and came across this one. Weaker strike, circulation wear and hits in nasty places. Nothing but a spender here, until I took a closer look at the "R" in liberty. It's a nice example of the "flared" peg leg. Note the separation here between the bottom of the vertical and the top of Ike's head. Compare to the following normal 1972-D Ike that was next to it: So this Ike gets a reprieve. It's crazy this didn't catch my eye before. I've had this one for a long, long time. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 6:52 pm Looks pretty much normal. The peg legs are smaller in size: They are basically an over polished die issue. To me they are not mint errors, but the slabbers like them. (They make a lot of money getting people to use this service) Report this Post to the Staff

cladboy Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 7:05 pm Thanks for the pic, coop. Far be it from me to question your call, and I will be happy to defer to your expertise, but I do see a difference between the two coins I posted. I also compared this one to every 72-D I have and I am seeing a difference. But sometimes we see what we want to see. Thanks for the feedback. It helps me learn and sharpens my eye and skills. In the long run, it's not a valuable coin, but curious enough to my eyes that I thought I'd share it with everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
