[QUOTE="Stewart, post: 738631, member: 19834"]jaceravone, The reason for that is the 1972 S Proof was made a Peg Leg by design to help more metal to flow into the hair of Ike to give it more definition. The others were not designed that way but were altered that way through grinding of the dies which can be seen on some with a area between the "R" and Ike's head that has been hit with a grinder meaning it was altered during the process of making coins Die was pulled and hit with a grinder and put back into the press.
