Yes - this will be a valuable thread for the 2F hunters! Thanks, @Ty.

Adding the 1920-D 2+ Feather to the list. There are multiple dies for this one, Die 1 in a later die stage being the strongest IMO.  Here is an example from my collection with virtually no feather, about as close as a 2+ feather can get to a true 2 feather IMO.  |

Here are dies 2, 3, and 4. Not much needs to be said for Die 2. A straight forward, VLDS, abraded die, quite obvious in hand. Would like to get my hands on examples from dies 3 and 4 (to hopefully prove or disprove some opinions). I've only seen images for a couple of examples of 4, and recently missed out on a sale for one.  From what I've seen, as I mentioned, the 3rd feather is more prominent than the others. This can also be deceiving from images alone, so maybe seeing one in hand would change my opinion of it.   |

Great resource. You are doing a fantastic job. I hope you are keeping these files. Should eventually add to a website or ebook like Ron Pope's.

Hi Ty2020b,
These are really great reference sheets thanks so much for putting them together. I was curious as to where you found more up to date URS scale information (then Pope, 2016) that you mention in the 1925-D 2+F sheet. I guess I assumed most would go in the other direction as more surfaced over time. Thanks

@1buff2many, I picked up a couple copies of one of his more recent printings about a year ago (not sure if he updated them after that). Ron has it listed as a URS-06.
PM me if you can 1buff2many, I see you're email is set to not receive.

Thanks @Ty2020b, I had wondered if he had more recent versions of his book, I was trying to track down a physical copy for purchase more recently but was having trouble, it is a shame about his passing. I updated my profile to allow e-mails but it looks like I might be too new to send them myself yet. I wonder if it would work on your end now, thanks.

I'm not sure where to order now, after his passing. I purchased this last one through him directly.
PM sent.

Haven't been updating this thread as quickly as I would have liked, but here is another one. The coin pictured is one from my collection.  |

Here is the coin pictured above, along with another circulated example I have. I have others not yet imaged, will post at a later date for reference.   |

Thanks for the update. Seems that all of the abraded die varieties I'm finding are on fairly heavily circulated examples. I looked through a large number of Buffs at the recent show in town and found zero.
Your '37D is a nice coin on its own, but the variety makes it even better in my book.
