That's pretty interesting. According to this article in Coin World, they aren't supposed to be released until after the Tallgrass Prairie coins...
Looks like they may have set it on the jaws of a vice when they struck the S. That may account for the bar. Just a wild guess.
To be honest, I've been buying silver proof sets for the last 25 years, so the bonus coin isn't all that big a deal to me. But yeah, I'll take it,...
Thank you, and same to you. I hope your hunch is correct. I have one set of my own on the way. ;)

I quit watching a while ago but I still see the promo's -- if they'd invested all the money they've wasted on that island they would already be...

Count me among the "yes" votes. Good job keeping the ignition dry on that '56 Buick in the midst of a nor'easter ;)
