It is easy to see why some might be rare. The dies might have been scrapped very shortly after the re-working, or they may have lasted a while and coined a lot of specimens.
I collect them when I find them. I won't pay an arm and a leg for them, though.

Bill, glad to see you here. I wish I had an answer to your question.
About how much would a 1916 two feathered Buffalo Nickel go for in circulated condition say Fine?

Thanks.
1923 (this one is also a Class VI doubled die obverse)-it's rare
1925 Must be very rare-reliably reported (I have an image) but I've yet to see an actual specimen
1926 Same comments as above
1926-D-a later die state of the already rare 2 1/2 feather-I've only seen one
1929 Same comments as to the 1925 and 1926 above

In the interest of full disclosure, I have no financial interest in the book, nor did Ron ask me to plug his book. It's a great book for those interested in this topic!

Please educate me here. I thought a variety was an intended design variation. An abraided die sounds more like an error. Would these coins really be considered varieties?
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

Agreed! Great book.

OK, so it is the result of an action taken by the Mint, so is intentional. Thanks!
