Fullhorn Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Here are pictures of my nickel. And here are pictures of one that is designated 2 Feathers. Notice the die crack on the date and across the face on both examples. Anyway I am wondering if mine has what it takes for the designation. Thanks in advance, Crawtomatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 It looks like a 2 feather to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 While it does look to be from the same obverse die I do see the third feather on your example, so I would have to say that your coin is of an earlier die state than that of the 2 feather example you have shown. And as such would not qualify as a 2 feather coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted December 15, 2020 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2020 Your coin is of the 2-Feathers die state, so it would be attributed by NGC. Crawtomatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullhorn Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thanks Guys! I appreciate it. Especially Mr. Lange, I think it is great you participate in the forum answering questions. I use your Buffalo Nickel book often. It has been here next to my desk for almost twenty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawtomatic Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @Fullhorn woohoo! I feel famous that my coin pic was used for reference. Congrats on getting another one identified and presumably attributed shortly. Yours is friggin' beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like my coin with just a little more wear. I didn't know you were a member here and thought I would sneak it in. I appreciate your being a good sport.

If I put something online, especially an eBay listing, I fully allow that it's public domain at that point. I'm honestly happy enough that it could serve as a reasonable reference. Some coins photograph easier than others for me and I don't have the best equipment but I'm making do. Fullhorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
