Neal,
So far, I have not seen any one of these coins past an early middle die state (EMDS). I still believe this may have been one of the last cents struck in 2006, and the dies may have been pulled before their full die life to make preparations for striking the 2007 cents. Of course, this is only conjecture on my part. Another possibility is that the die may have failed prematurely. Either way, today it still remains very elusive.
I still do not have any other reported coins since my last tally, and I was unable to verify if the coins offered on EBay were previously counted. It still remains at 29 total reported.
