Need some advice Eisenhower 1972 S

I bought about a hundred Eisenhower dollars from an estate sale today. 4 are uncirculated blue coin and box silver very nice coins. However one is a 1972 S type 2 pegleg grade 66 or better. I can find nothing on PCGS or otherwise showing a value. Is it common or should it be graded?

Can't get good pictures through the mint cover.

 

@Rick Stachowski knows him some Ikes. Maybe he can chime in.

 

grade 66 or better?

 

I would send it for grading as it will have value at that grade.

 

Exactly

 

Me too. Good luck with your decision.

 

Pics?

 

This is the way my auction purchase of Ike's arrived. Very disappointing. No 1972 S type 2.

 

72-s are not a good year for peg legs, no extra money involved . 71 is the money for peg legs ...

 

Good point the other peg legs were by design.

 

I have a few pictures of the coin. Want to be sure it is type 2? Thanks. Pictures do not do coin justice. Sorry

 

Yes, that is a type 2.

 

This variety is also known as The Shadow Ike

Was also going to say indeed Type-2...don't think there's a Type-1 in a 72-S...at least from memory...but will yield if so. Some references list them as such but some don't because there isn't anything else but Type-2. As a side, had never heard nor seen anything of a "pegleg" Ike variety listed or referenced anywhere before this...but I've lead a somewhat sheltered life.

 

Great site. Thanks

 

Here's a shadow Ike I own .

 

Is that coin a PF or MS?

 

It's a business strike not a proof grated 67 by PCGS

 

That,s what I thought...I was checking out my PF 71s's and have 1 peg leg out of 6 coins. The 72s's are all so-called peg leg from design only. I have 8 72-s MS to examine for varieties...how common are these "shadow" coins to locate? This is the first I've heard of them. No mention of them in the Wexler authoritative guide book either. So do the 72-s MS coins have different reverses? I'm having a tough time understanding.
