   Like Pete and Joe say-2 1/2 feathers. There are 2 or 3 '25-S dies that are completely effaced, tho.

   If any portion of the feather is visible, it is a 2 1/2 feather variety. Pete

   Since there is a little “crumb” of the small feather showing I would call it 2 and 1/2 feathers. I would grade xf45.

   It sure appears to show the smallest remnant of a feather tip. I hope it is only 2 cause I have a similar. I'm going to dig it out. Peace Roy

   This is a 1925-S Buffalo Nickel with a missing third feather, but has a die chip where the feather should be. It doesn’t seem like the die chip matches where the feather should be very well. Would this qualify as a two-feather coin or a 2.5 feather? Also, what is your opinion on grade? I paid $6.75.

   I have one similar to that.... maybe a tad more on the feather....never thought it would get the 2.5 designation....so I just keep it with the herd. Cheers, RickO

   Thank you for your help. It seems to have mild environmental damage, which is unfortunate because looking at pictures of graded 25-S I would say this coin has VF details. The price was certainly right and it’s a nice coin IMO.

   Here's one I picked up recently. I believe the OP's coin would be slabbed as the variety but wouldn't be worth it financially.

   Fine details, possible environmental damage. Date seems unusually strong to me for some reason. I’ll let the experts comment on the feathers.

    Here's two different of those completely effaced dies.
