Please help. Is this IKE a PEG LEG?

BTW, there is a very small amount of tone, but my camera is chromatically broken.

I'm the wrong person to ask about peg legs. To me they are another result of over die polishing. Some hype to get people to collect something that was altered during the dies life. These cutesie names are given to sell something that to me is not a collectable. The list just keeps going on. Nothing in the hubbing process creates these. Just an altered die.

The color of your image is probably not a camera issue. Sometimes lighting is the cause. Angles/type of light/glare all factor into images. With an image editing program this can be reduced to remove the golden tone. I love it on copper coins, but not on silver coins.

coop, my interest in this coin, (if it IS a pegger) according to the ike group is, I may have a singular or discovery coin. Sure hope so.

Might-Could-May be worth some major value, from a collector of peg legs.

The Ike Group states there are no 1971 (P) Ike peg legs, found, (YET)

My (general) interest in peggers is they sell for a modest premium on ebay. Same as for toners. Same as for errors.

For those collectors, I say thanks.

coop, thanks for the help on picture taking. hue-saturation-contrast
