1919-S Buff, Opinions Please

CRHer700

I just want to know if this is a two feather buff or not. That's all. I know that there is an ebook link to a reference guide to these in the sticky thread, but it is so slow on my device that I just skipped and decided to ask.

There appears to be a trace of the third feather visible.

I did see that, and that is why I asked. I have seen pictures of stabbed two feathers with a similar amount showing. I am considering purchasing it, so if it would count I probably need to buy soon.

The ones on Coinfacts show a trace of the feather.

I would call it a 2F. Is the 19-S a tough one?

I bid $5 on it. We'll see how it goes.

I think that another bidder spotted it too, but we'll see.

I honestly don't know. It appears to be a solid G4, maybe a G6 if graded. PCGS price guide lists it at $75 in G4 and $100 in G6. There are only 15 graded at PCGS.

A true 2-Feather coin should have no trace of the feather showing. Looks like your coin has too much showing.

I know that sometimes the attribution lets some slip through, but the late Ron Pope commented that NO trace of the feather should show.
