Any of the grading services attributing Buffalo Nickel 2 feather varieties yet

I've had a 1916-P Buffalo Nickel 2 feathers since 2001 awaiting the day when I could get it slabbed and designated
Its an AU55 or 58. To me its not worth the cost of slabbing unless its a variety of some sort

Is it a matter of push from the coin collectors to get more of the Buffalo varieties mentioned by the grading companies on their slabs?

    If it is listed in the Cherrypickers Guide you can probably get PCGS to put it in a slab with the FS on the insert. I'd place a courtesy call to customer service before spending the $40 for the submission.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I've had a dozen or so done at SEGS on one of their specials with no problems

    I believe that PCGS and NGC will only attribute the 2-feathers that are specifically listed in Cherrypickers Guide. Not all of them are.
