The '05 "speared bison" is well known, but hope you are aware of these other goodies. I know this list can be added to, as I've seen die-chips resulting in some possibly unique pieces. (unicorn) In the past year, I've pulled a few, some mutiples, of these lesser known.
The "extra horn", aka "2 horn & the clash, known also as "shackled", or "hobbled", are examples of the names they go under. There's also a "doubled tail" I'm finding difficulty in locating.

Sorry if this was a re-hash, but I now look for excuses to make a box last longer. Time's fun when you're having flys.

Thanks for the info, fioti! I wasn't aware of any of this, and now I know what to look out for.

Are any of these varieties actually worth anything special, or are they just interesting?

The bald, all raw, $4-$20 recently, you know where.
The DL, all slabbed, by all big 3, $31-$68, highest was a proof.

When these were first discovered, I got some off of ebay for little money b/c of the novelty of them. I only go the detached leg and bald one though. I'd like a unicorn. I put away 6 or bank 8 rolls put away from Denver and Philly - maybe I should break them out.

I've seen some similar to the 2 horn, but they were die-chips. I believe those are the unicorns.
