1978-D Peg Leg Ike - Late Die State?

Windycity,

First of all Very Nice Peg Leg, Congratulations on the find
I am far from an expert.
But from the available photos the coin looks to be
mid die state possibly. the only reason I say that is
the metal flow lines that I can see do not look that heavy.
Being that the only flow lines I can make out in the photos
are between the 1 and the 9 at the bottom of the date close to the
rim.
Other than that the fields look quite smooth.


Here is a little light reading on Eisenhower Die States
I am sure you can see more of the surface of the coin with a glass
than we can in pictures.

Hope that helps.
