Most of you have seen my 2005-S KS PF SQ Mint Error with the die gouge on the buffalo. When I found it in my Mint order in 2005, I decided to order some of the Silver PF SQ (only) sets to see if any of them had the error. Well, they didn't! Over the years, I sold off most of the sets, and I decided this evening that I would sell off the last three on some of the forums.

 

Don't ask me why, but I decided to check them one last time. I looked at both sides of all of the coins instead. I got to the last set, and I noticed a small spot on one of the coins. I figured it was probably a milk spot, but when I looked at it with my loupe, it wasn't a milk spot at all. It is a lamination error. Now, it's hard enough to find Mint errors on today's proof coins as it is, but what do you think the odds are of finding two KS PF SQ's with two completely different kinds of errors on them?

I think it's an island, put there on purpose. Isn't Manhattan an island? And, doesn't Kansas have a Manhattan!! Yea, bet you didn't see that coming!! lol

 

It's Oahu, but they backfilled Pearl Harbor after moving it to the Kansas prairie.

 

For the record, a noted error specialist believes that it is a retained strikethrough, but he was making that observation based upon my photo. Since the affected area looks like it might be silver, I'm trying to imagine how a scrap piece of silver could wind up being a strikethrough. Does anyone have any theories?
