That's very unfortunate. That is a no-doubter 2F. Sorry to see this, hope that you can get it corrected! Nice coin nonetheless!

Jadenusa really sorry to hear that result, I definitely agree with you and the others that yours is a 2F and such an amazing rarity. There are so few of these that have shown up it is hard to believe the die in this state had much of a life.

I didn't need to look at the PCGS sample, this one is without a doubt 2 feather.

Thanks all, at least this validates I'm not crazy or blind  Yes Coinfrog this required a variety code on submission, which I provided. I double checked after the fact as well in case it was an oversight on my part. The grader also missed a no date 16/16. I don't think they were very familiar with the series sadly. I ended up turning off my membership renewal on this. PCGS' loss, I was going to assemble a full 2F variety set with them. |

That's a shame to hear. I would be interested in seeing some images of that 1916 you mentioned. That's a real nice variety!

Sorry to hear that. It such a shame. I wonder if NGC would cross it and add the variety.

Another update post, on this coin... I cracked it out and sent to NGC, which also did NOT attribute 2F, however it did receive a VG grade. I cracked it out again and sent to ANACS, who finally attributed. Given the rarity of this date in 2 feather, it's the only one I'd be this stubborn for! All-in it was around $200 to get this slabbed across the three services. The only thing that made it more digestible is, I found it in a bulk lot so my initial cost was super low.  |

I'm delighted to hear that you persisted. ANACS, I think, is a lot better of a grading service than the industry as a whole suggests. I feel so many ANACS coins are undervalued.

The key to the 2 feather series. Well done. It's a coin that is on many want lists with so few out there.

Nice to see the end result on this one, too bad it took 3 grading services. What is the value for this key date 2 feather?

Value is relative given the rarity unfortunately... PCGS has a G4 at $75 but there's very little auction data to support that. There was a GC auction recently that hammered at $154 w/ BP for a scratched G details https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...Good-Details Anacs population report doesn't show this one, but here's what I was able to dig up on the other services: NGC - 1 graded, AG3 CACG - 1 graded, AU58 PCGS - 5 graded |

I own the only one graded by NGC. Although a lowly AG3 I'm still happy to have one.  |
