New Buff Variety pickup

I got lucky and caught this coin on ebay this past weekend. It is both the FS-401 No "F" and the FS-402 Two Feather. Condition not great but the two errors are readily visible.

    I see a solid VG. Am I wrong?

    I don't think it has enough horn for a VG. All 4 digits of the date are there, but blurry.

    My avatar is a G-6, so me thinks that it is possible your Buff could sneak in at the same grade.

    Good call. G06 with a dusting of a chance for a weak VG.

    Very cool Jim. Great eye too👍

    That one is much tougher than the ones missing just the feather. Nice find!

  • 59Horsehide59Horsehide Posts: 427 ✭✭✭

    Congratulations! I have no clue what the two variations are/mean. It might also be appreciated by others as well if you would educate us. Thank you.

  • tincuptincup Posts: 5,404 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'd call it a good since horn is a little weak for a VG. Nice find!

    The third feather is missing and the F below the date is missing. Check CoinFacts and you will see the difference on an Uncirculated coin.
