<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 442878, member: 15929&quot;]Not much premium in the variety at all. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There may have been at one time or another back in 1972 afer the differences were discovered, but none recently. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speculation is that all the proofs made in 1971 (2,180 in September and 1,219,990 in December) were of the Straight Peg Leg Variety. After noticing that the leg faded after extensive use, the serif was added and 2,806,244 were produced in March of 1972 followed by 540 in May 1972 along with 236,820 in June of 1972. (Source: January 2008 Numismatist article &quot;PegLeg IKEs&quot; by the IKE Group. <a href="http://www.IKEGROUP.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.IKEGROUP.org" rel="nofollow">www.IKEGROUP.org</a> )</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, adding the figures up, 28% of the total production would have been the pegleg variety.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Additionally, following the theory, the Pegleg proofs would be the only true 1971 Proof coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One more item to think about, the 1974 proof coin was of the serifed variety but die abraded peglegs have been found. The same is true with 1978. Given that fact, there could very well be die abraded versions of the 1971-S Proof coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
