Default 1955 Armour coin variation discoveries

Long-time Standard Catalog contributor and Armour coin specialty collector Phil Garrou has reported three new variations in the 1955 set.

I'm currently undecided about how deep to go in listings the ever-growing number of minor variations within the pages of the book. Given the relatively small number of collectors interested in such minutiae, I'm not sure it is the best use of available page count.

Phil has reported the existence of Jim Finigan coins with his birthplace spelled as QUINCY and as OUINCY.

He also has spotted Duke Snider pieces with and without a decimal point in front of the 1954 batting average.

My concern is whether or not these are true examples of error/correction or whether the tail of the Q and the decimal point were lost due to wear of the molds during production.

Specifically, I'm inquiring whether anybody can show coins with a partial tail on the Q or a "vanishing" decimal point.

The third newly reported variation is one of the many letter/word spacing variations seen in the series. We currently list all of those, but these are the type of variation I'm considering dropping.

Your thoughts?

I've covered this more thoroughly in my blog (linked below). The Finigan piece is up now, the Snider will be posted Monday and the Haddix on Wednesday.
