Is This Ike A Peg Leg Or Just A Want-A-Be?

A pic of just the letter would have been nice, but looks like it.

May I please thank you all, for answering my 2 posts, about grading, and is this a peg leg.

I just bought it on ebay for $13.00 (including shipping). My greater interest in the coin was any possibility it is a pegger. The seller has a 25,000+ record, and my thoughts are he considered the coin only as a nice MS grade, and the SILVER in the coin.

If it will pass as a high grade MS+ PEGGER, the coin will rate (RARE or maybe VERY RARE)

Going to do more study on this coin, and will UP-DATE accordingly.

The coin is not in hand, yet, but is in to mail system, hopefully.

I have the grand total of $9.50 plus $3.50 shipping in the coin. Second highest price I ever paid for an IKE.

When I get it, will post better pics of the "R."

Yes, a very small amount of collectors give a rip about IKE peggers, or toned

One point in the peggers world. Even when you take out the MS factor, some peggers may or may not exist. Possibly not a single coin.

This particular IKE coin has similar company, in slabs. Or maybe just in collections, where the holder doesn't know, or care, that it is or is not a pegger.

Toners, and Peggers are at the fringe to many collectors.

For me it was a cheap way to get into collecting, until my FACE $1,000 IKE bags went south. But I am working on more $1,000 bags.

In the morning, going to the bank, and order a box of Half Dollars. Shouldn't be a problem. At the same time, will beg-ask-plead-try to get an other bag of IKES. May the Gods of coin collectors be with me.

The Ike Group thinks all Business Strike Peg Legs are polishing artifacts, which makes them nothing but die states in any other isssue, noted in passing. The Proofs are deliberate design, and unimportant because of that - it's the expected design. It's not a variance.

By all means, we collect what we like, but care needs to be taken to adhere to standard numismatic practice when bandying about specific terms like "variety." Peg Legs don't meet that definition.

There are plenty of Morgans (my passion) with "collectible" features that don't necessarily meet the strict definition of "variety," and I can certainly understand why someone would collect them. I'm just concerned about dilution of meanings in a hobby which uses exacting language for good reason - not necessarily yourself, just trying to forestall problems with folks just learning these words. It's important because the Ike Group guys are using the (correct) term "design variety" for these, which carries a completely different implication from "die variety" in terms of scale.

Glad you took that the way it was intended. I've been having trouble with that lately.
