7 new varieties plus two upgrades for my Buffalo variety set

coolkarma

This is my "other" submission which posted Thursday. All nine coins were submitted raw. All except the 1936-d were purchased raw. The 36-d was purchased in an NGC 65 holder and broken out before submission.

1917-d FS-401 2F, XF40. New pop top. Fourth graded by PCGS. Note the lack of the small feather behind the Indian's neck.


1919 FS-401 2F, F15. Third graded by PCGS. Note the missing feather.


1930 FS-101 DDO, XF45. Seventh graded. I thought this was at least AU50, but with it back in hand, XF45 also is reasonable. Note the eye lid, nostril, date and eastern edge of the long feather.


1930 FS-802 DDR-2, VF20. Second graded. A bit nicer than I had expected. Note west of the PL of Pluribus and U of Unum.


1930-s FS-401 2F, VF35. Third graded. Note the missing feather.


1930-s FS-501 RPM-2, XF45. I thought this was a little nicer. Fourth graded and tied with one other as pop top. Note the east side of the mint mark.


1935 FS-803 DDR-3, VF25. The obverse and reverse of this coin grade differently. They chose the good/right side The second one graded by PCGS. Note FIVE CENTS, particularly the eastern edge of the V.


1935-s FS-801 DDR, XF40. Eighth graded and a really nice double die. Note south of the PL of Pluribus and U of Unum plus the E's in FIVE CENTS.


1936-d FS-502 RPM-2, MS-65. Sixteenth graded and I thought it could have received a 66. Note the west side of the mint mark.


Enjoy! Richard

Nice additions. I am going to have to go out and look at the whole set.

WOW, I just looked at the WHOLE set. Didn't know there were so many varieties.

A lot of years have the 2 feathers thing going on.

Very neat and a great collection you have there.

I am trying to get them (PCGS) to add coins to the dime sets.

There are a lot of neat varieties not in there sets.

Thank you. Yes, a lot of toys. I only submit once a quarter so I get lots of toys back from PCGS at once. Except for trades and purchases of attributed coins, this is it until next quarter.

Speaking of trades, I just added one more coin to my set, a 1915 2F, PCGS VF35. A total of 5 graded by PCGS.


This completes my Two Feather set.

My Complete Variety Buffalo Nickel set is now 92.31% complete. Of the 9 varieties I do not have, two are expensive but available (1916 ddo: pop 142, 1914/3 ddo: pop 73). The other 7 have pops at PCGS of 4, 3, 2, 2, 0, 0, and 0. I better get hunting

Yes, cherrypicking yourself is quite a thrill. I didn't find any CPG recognized varieties, but I did find a 1916-s No F, a 1934-d/d rpm-1, and a 1937-d/d/d rpm-5. I also discovered an unlisted (in CPG or the Authoritative Reference) 1927-d/d/d (east and west) and a 1935 ddr (on FIVE CENTS). A real thrill

Enjoy!
