Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 5:40 pm Seeing as local banks here have so many ikes I decided to start looking at them more closely. Usually I do not bother with them but I have found some 72-P type 2's and type 3's and one 76-P type 1 that has a peg leg. Is that normal (peg leg) for that yr/m.m. coin ? I picked up over a hundred ikes today just for the heck of it and will look at them later. What peg legs if any should I look for and what about this talon/head thing ? These coins are not silver/proofs just regular business strikes. I remember I had posted for sale or auction a while back a couple of these but no interest was shown. Just wanted an idea if even worth keeping any. I did post at a thread about ike pics. earlier also. In the past I have just passed on picking up ikes at the bank (unless they were silver) and when I did I just sold them for cheap or gave them out in change at my flea market etc. If any interest I will post them for sale or auction but wanted some input first. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Also the 1972D in MINT STATE and the 1974D "Major Peg-Leg" are nice coins to locate. I'm personally partial to the 1972P Type 2 and the 1971D "FEV" Friendly Eagle" Ikes. A little while ago I found a 1971D FEV DDO / DDR that was attributed as a new find by Dr Wiles( Coneca)for the DDO and coupled with an existing DDR. These coins are worth hundred's of dollars depending on grade etc! Edited by chuckster 125 10/12/2010 7:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 8:01 pm We can't get Ikes here. Feel fortunate. Most Type 2's are extremely valuable depending on grade. Respective of the Ike series that is! A 76 (Philadelphia) Type one is very hard to find. Still haven't found a peg leg. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 8:04 pm Thanks Yes, I have been to that site. Now have to figure out the friendly eagle thing and the talon thing and ? and get an idea what the values of all these coins are. No idea. Guess i'll just check them all and post them as a lot in the auction forum when I am done looking for the talon and eagle. Maybe some people on here are interested in them. Already have 3 ea. 72-P's type 2, 14 ea. type 3's, 1 ea. 76-P type 1 which has a pegleg and a couple other peg leg ones. Report this Post to the Staff
