What a coincidence, Mike. In another thread we briefly discussed my 2005-S KS Silver SQ with the "gouge" on the buffalo. Well, I finally! received my CPG, 5th Edition, Volume II today despite being on the pre-order list for 4+ months. Guess what? It's listed on page 237.............drum roll, please...............as a "die dent"!.......FS-S25-2005S-KS-901........ Under Description, it says in part, "It appears to be a deliberate addition to the die, but the cause is unknown." Like you said, Mike, there is no consensus of opinion on what constitutes a variety or an error. Maybe the ANA and PNG should get together and come up with better definitions. Chris
Not alcohol, just seems to get pretty crazy sometimes when people with superior knowledge in the same area get into it.
