koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 8:25 pm From an April 2005 Numismatic News article I publihsed: "It looks like the band of Indian warriors that "Speared" our 2005-D Bison five cents in Denver last month (See NN April 12 page 30) have moved all the way into Philadelphia and "tomahawked" another bison there! What we are really talking about here is a 2005-P Bison five-cent piece with an interesting shaped die dent just behind the Bison's upper right shoulder. At least one observer decided this die dent looked like a tomahawk and began calling it a "Tomahawked Bison" and on ebay we've seen it referred to as the "Broken Tomahawk" variety. Gary Silay Jr was the first to report it to us last March." Report this Post to the Staff

shotgung Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 08/25/2017 7:16 pm Just read about this one today. Will start watching for it w/ the speared bison. Looked through 5 rolls I had of the Bison's and found none. Don't think this one is very common. Edited by shotgung 08/26/2017 07:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
