Nice, never seen a set like that. By increasing the size on my iPad,
you can see them clearly

PM sent @Jerry Picker. Does look to be "almost" the 2F. TPG's are lenient on some of these and call the 2 1/2 feather varieties 2F. They might let this slide as a 2F as it's darn close. IMO, this one might just squeeze by as 2F. Not enough remaining to go as far as a 2 1/2 feather. It is quite an interesting example, IMHO, there is the slightest amount of the 3rd feather remaining and the die clash still remains under the chin. My speculation: this one was struck before the dies received another polishing that removed the remainder of the 3rd feather and the clash below the chin. Also looks like the very top the designers initials may be visible on this one (could just be lighting), soon to be completely removed from said polishing. |

I never realized that there was a 2 feather variety (not to mention that 3 feathers was normal) I don't collect them (yet). after a tiny bit of research, I've come to think that the 3rd feather was polished off the die. Is that correct?

Very good TY. You are definitely in the lead. Those are some great examples and I like the collage format. I'm posting another tonight, and have another 1 for sure in the mail. Join the fun Dearborn. These and TY's are all cherry picked from ebay. Most not noted as 2F. And yes, a die clash polished out is the likely reason the 3rd feather is gone. Just like the 3-legged buffalo and the no "F"'s. |

Very nice collection!
How many did you search total to find this many?
Also, what kind of value are these?
I'll need to start looking for these now

Jerry, I don't think PCGS would grade it a 2F because they don't list that one and its not in the "+" area of the price guide. Pope's book lists a 1913S V1 as a 2 feather and no "F" below the date variety. That's a rare one. https://archive.org/details/buffalo...n83/mode/2up |

Thanks all! One more picked today.
@NumismaticsFTW, thousands of listings. Though it goes quick as they are easy to spot.
@Sheldius, PCGS does recognize the 1913-S T1.

I've got a VG 1921 S on my watchlist, but its at $90. Not sure I can get the spouse to agree to that much. I see you already have that one.
