2006 W Unc Burnished Silver Coins with this Die Error? - Anymore out there?

This might be a nice experiment for tracking the beginning and the end of a die error during a Mint run.
In this case, for the 2006 W Unc Burnished Silver Eagle - Only 470K Coins, so we have a real low mintage to deal with.
I had a sealed box of 100 Units.
Within this Box, I found 31 coins with the same error (varying in intensity); each coin was packed together in a cluster, where, as I pulled them, one after the other, each had this Error as shown below.
It is a gouge that is found in the same place for each coin, at the end of the right ribbon (held by the Eagle) in the form of a distinct gouge at the right of the "UNUM".
The visible gouge could be arranged as incremental, i.e. running from bad to worse in a few (6-7) of the coins, but generally, they all are about the same in appearance.
I believe this grouping of coins (31) should have additional siblings distributed out to the holders of the 2006 W Unc Burnished Silver Eagle coin.
This error population could be expanded and tracked down if more coins are found among the Board posters here, and on the NGC Board.
Has anyone found this Error on the reverse of a 2006 W Unc Burnished Silver Eagle? Post the affirmative here or even Private Message me if you want.
(I will note I sent them all to NGC for Grading this Summer and the group is consecutively numbered.)
Thanks!

Jeez Bully, what's the difference?
just kidding
no, none of mine had that
8 of 10 showed the Indian with a tiny black pit on his bottom lip....I sent them all back for replacement.
Was I wrong????
In full light you can see a shiny bottom
LOL!! Good one, coinman420!
<< <i>Ok, no, these are gouges that are just deep, that accounts for the blackness.

Definitely different than my coins, Boy!!!
ttt
They came in multiple batches of 100.
I was surprised how many had the exact same rub, scratch or other mark identical to others in the same but not different lot.
They obviously are kept together in batches from time of mintage through packaging and final shipping.
Is a double-die error like the 1955 Lincoln attributed to one SINGLE die set?
