In the past couple months, you have posted pics of some of the most amazing coins ever!
Are these in your personal collection? If so, congrats, and how do you find these? At auction or through high-end dealers? How long have you been collecting to put together such amazing type coins?

This coin has outstanding eye appeal. The coin has what looks to be a number of small carbon spots. Is this a common problem with 36 satin proof nickels? The carbon spots are small enough not to be too distracting on this example though. I really like this one!
Thank you again for posting another fantastic coin.
caused by the nickel alloy a common thing and when the coin really toned like this then the impurities in the alloy also changed to these dark fly specks on the surface of the coin making them visible
remember this coin is blown up like 20 times and then are not that distracting i mean in person they are hardly noticeable and are just part of the toning and minting process
now of course i understand that without these flecks this coin would be a no brainer 68 coin and then worth with this toning probably at around 17,500 personally i would rather have this coin in a 67 holder with absolutely no marks or hairlines looking like this and probably the best colored proof 67 satin 1936 coin at 20% of the 68 price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The third feather, in the space between the longest feather and the back of the neck sometimes was polished to the point that it wouldn't appear on the coin during striking. I didn't know if this was the case with proofs?
Here's a LINK to a strong third feather 36 proof.
I wonder if there are graduations in the 2- to 3- feather presence?
ANACS attributes them as 2-feather varieties, possibly some other slabbers do too?
Michael,
You post some amazing pieces!
