[QUOTE="Urban_Lawyer, post: 1520114, member: 36361"]Ike dollars are an interesting set to start out with. They are big like silver dollars yet affordable, there are enough varieties available that it is good practice in learning how to spot traits of a coin without becoming overwhelmed, and they are "rare" enough that part of the fun is finding banks that have them. The 1972 D has a single variety: besides the "regular" Ike there is a "peg leg" Ike. The ped leg refers to the "r" of "liberty" on the front. Regular strikes will have serifs on the "r." The peg leg will NOT have a serif on the straight, back part of the r. (A serif is the little "feet" some fonts have... this font is "sans serif," because it doesn't have serifs).
