Regarding the 74D Peg-Leg, can there be Eskimo Boot R's on 74 D's?
I thought the Eskimo boot was only on a 74S Proof
You are right about the 74 S Proof Eskimo Boot being the
known variety.
The only reason I mention it is because the picture reminded
me of the Eskimo Boot.
And we do have another Ike that has the same type of variety
across two different metal compositions
The 74 S 40% Silver Proof Micro S and the
74 S Copper Nickel clad Micro S
I was was at an antique shop with a small coin shop inside
checking out coins while the wife and her friend were antique shopping and I ran across a 74 S proof in a 2x2
I looked at it and saw the micro S but could not see
the edge to check and see if it was silver.
Got it home and cracked it out and it was copper nickel
clad. Thought bummer but it got me thinking and I put it
away. Fast forward a few months and Brian Vaile
ran across the same thing and got to thinking also
and sent his to Dr. James Wiles and it was determined
that they were from the same die.
Now an already rare variety (Silver Micro S)
seems is even more rare as is the copper nickel clad
Micro S because you can only get roughly 10,000 proofs
from one die. now that is split amongst two metal
compositions.
I am not saying it is an Eskimo Boot but I am questioning
whether the same polishing operation that created the
proof Eskimo Boot on the proof happened to be used
on a regular circulation die creating the same thing
on another coin
. They are from the same year.
That is what I love about this series of coins.
As we know VERY well. Not all the variety discoveries
have been made yet. When I see something out of place
or different on an Ike I always question it and as Rob
says "through some mud on the wall and see what sticks"
4/21
Yee ha congratulations I still have not had the luck to
find one yet.
Those bags are being very good to you The type 2 and
harder to find 74 D Peg Leg way too cool
Congrats on adding to the Silver Stack and A Barber
bonus.
it seems it it getting harder and harder to find silver
in the wild anymore for me I have not seen any in my area in
quite some time I think I have other silver searchers
around me and Ike hunters. both are hard to find around
here

PS do not know how this whole post got in a quote
