Thanks to board member Shamka for both pointing it out and then standing down.

Feather. How rare are these?

I do know that some of these have a premium. How rare, good question.

These are listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide.

I'm not sure if that 3rd feather is abraded enough to make this a 2-feather. I'm no expert on these, but it's just what I've heard through the grapevine.

This one is among the more common two feathers but still brings a premium. Last auction of a 63 brought $300 vs it being less than a $100 coin for non-variety. This appears to be one of the dates where more feather is acceptable than others to make the attribution cut. If you look at the ones displayed in CoinFacts and the corresponding auction links, most appear to have parts or shadows of the small feather present.

I'ts one of the dates that's widely accepted as a 2F even tho there's a faint "ghost" of a feather there. I saw it but decided not to pull the trigger due to the spots and high opening bid. I'ts one of the more common of this type of error. Most I've seen are Mint state.

Nice type 1. Nice pick up, two feathers and all!

One reason for the acceptance of this date is it's long history of being attributed as a 2 feather. The old ANACS was slabbing it like that 25 years ago (or more.) Many of these DO show a trace of the feather-out of the 27 dates generally recognized only 17 show no or virtually no trace of the third feather.

A trace of feather three.... what does the obverse look like...and I assume that green color

is the photograph, not the coin. Cheers, RickO
