Would this qualify as a 2 Feather Buffalo?

There is no 1929 S 2 Feather listed in Cherry Pickers so wondering what you guys thought of this piece.

    I don't collect or know much about Buff varieties, but it looks like the 3rd feather is weak but there to me. JMHO.

    Not to me. Too much of the small feather is visible, and this is a date where true 2-feathers, coins with no trace of the feather, are known.

    I have a 2-feather 29-S that grades 64 and the third feather is absolutely 100% gone. So unlike other dates, if there's any evidence of the third feather, I'd say it is not a 2-feather variety.

    Of the 500 I went through yesterday. One was a 2 feather, 2 RPM's, some better dates, and that 29-S. I had hopes but guess Ill keep looking.

    Sorry-no. The real deal has a completely missing feather. The upcoming CPG will have a new format for these with several added dates, the '29-S is among them.

    Here's my 29-S, it has no sign of a feather:

    That's the good one, Manorcourtman. It will be listed in the upcoming CPG.
