1930-S Buffalo 5 cent??

I just bought a 1930-s Buffalo 5 cent at a pawn shop. This coin is in about VF condition. It looks real close to the 2 feather variety but would probably be a 2 1\2 feathers. At what point does it constitue a 2 feather? Ill try to get a pic of it but does someone have examples of a 2 feather that has a very slight third feather? Of a 2 1/2 feather?
Thanks

    Gotta show no trace of a feather to be considered a two-fer.

    It's funny, I'm just starting to check my "Dateless buffs", and I came across a 2-Feather. At least it appears to be? No remnant of a feather left behind. It's a 1920;


    Here's a 1918 2-Feather, a TRUE 2-Feather I bought at a previous show.

    The '20-S is a known 2 feather date. The 1918 is a slightly better date for the variety.> @ricko said:

    The latest (Vol 6) CPG lists them. I compiled the list for them.

    @koynekwest....Thanks... but I have sixth edition vol 1... but do not have any listing for a 1920 two feather....Just double checked....Cheers, RickO

    Check pages 307 thru 310. Since all 2 feather coins look pretty much the same it would be redundant to picture each one separately, so, to save space, I recommended that one example should be pictured followed by a list of known dates. It is listed there.
