I have seen some die polished coins, other than The Eisenhower Dollars, which are notorious for the so-called "Pegleg" syndrome, where the left leg of the R in LIBERTY is missing it's serif, is short, like, sawed off, or, both, but this 1976-D KHD takes the cake for the amount of removal of the lower E & R in LIBERTY...the leg is almost completely off on the R....I cannot imaging how many of these are out there, as any Mint Employee, once seeing the result of repeated die polishing, would stop the presses. This die must have been "near death".....1st pic is the sawed off example...pic 2 is a normal R. 3rd pic is pegleg, again.

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
