Some of my 2-feathers Buffalo nickel collection

This is part of the first page of the Buffalo variety, error and oddity book I assembled over the years. There was a Fine 26-D in there but for some reason, I had it slabbed. There are four more pages of doubled dies, RPMs and OPMs, die polishing errors, split planchets, clips, strike-thrus and laminations in the book, but figured most people would be interested in these.

1st Row: 1913 D-Ty 1, 1913-S Ty 1, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1917-D
2nd Row: 1917-S, 1918, 1918-S, 1919, 1919-D, 1920
3rd Row: 1920-S, 1921, 1921-S, 1923, 1925-D, 1925-S
4th Row1927-D, 1927-S, 1929-S, 1930-S

You have some nice and scarce ones there, John! Which doubled dies do you have?

Nice group of 2-feathers! Thanks for posting!

Man after my own heart! Definitely some better looking coins and grades in there!

Very impressive... You have been focusing on Buffs for a long time evidently. Cheers, RickO

Nice collection sir! Most collectors do not know how scarce these are. I have never found one at any coin show. I do not search ebay or other venues for them though. Whilst, I have a complete date, mm set of buffs, none of them are the two feather variety and neither are the few extra buffs I have.

Several dates aren't too difficult to find-1916, 1918-S, 1921, and 1925-S. It's become much more difficult to cherrypick them, especially online, since many more collectors are aware of them. The 1915-D and 1923 are very seldom seen while the 1913-S Var 1, 1916-S, 1926-D, and 1930-S are tough to find.
