For the heck of it I started with the Silver Proof sets only to find that all three sets had the &quot;hoof&quot; die dent on the Kansas quarter.&quot;&nbsp; He wondered if it was a common or rare variety but so far all the reports we have are what you see here!&nbsp; That&#039;ll make &#039;em rare so far!&nbsp; How do you like your steak?

He found them in&nbsp; the 11-coin sets he ordered directly from the Mint. I will be mentioning&nbsp; his finds in my upcoming September/October issue of online <i> Die Variety News</i> magazine. You mentioned on the <i> CONECA</i> web site about reporting&nbsp; additional finds and <i> wanted to pass this bit of information on to you. He reported them to me about a month ago.&quot; KP</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&nbsp; July 4, 2006 -- Vincent Burke of California found a significantly large, curved, almost horse hoof-shaped die dent on the rear hindquarter of the bison on a 2005-S silver proof Kansas quarter. He found it in a complete 11-piece silver proof set.&nbsp; The variety is significantly larger in area than the die dents (or die gouges) found on the two well-known 2004-D Wisconsin quarters discovered some time ago and popularized under the nicknames &quot;High Leaf&quot; and &quot;Low Leaf.&quot;&nbsp; It also appears that the Kansas variety is many times rarer than either of the Wisconsin pieces as none have been reported to this author since it was first publicized in a front page story in the December 6, 2005 issue of Numismatic News.&nbsp; Anybody finding any of these is encouraged to report them to CONECA!&nbsp; KP</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><a href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/Default.aspx?tabid=464&amp;articleid=1567&amp;articlemid=1502#1502Articles" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/Default.aspx?tabid=464&amp;articleid=1567&amp;articlemid=1502#1502Articles" rel="nofollow"></a></i></p><p><i><a href="http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/2005S25cAgKSBisonVariety.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/2005S25cAgKSBisonVariety.htm" rel="nofollow">See More Images Here </a></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
