<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2387261, member: 15929&quot;]ALL, 1976 Type 1 IKE&#039;s are Peglegs by design. The trick is in finding those where the leg has been abraded away.

Funny thing was that the bag consisted of Type 3 coins except for these 10 or so T1 Coins but I figured the previous owner either picked out some nice T3&#039;s, or perhaps some error&#039;s or maybe some Type 2&#039;s.
