harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 11:09 pm I was looking through Buffalo nickels today at the local coin show and I found a 1921 with 2 feathers G-VG. Dealer wouldn't sell it to me because he probably thought I was cherrying something valuable. What would you say the coin was worth? TIA Harvey Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 12:41 am I can't believe the dealer wouldn't sell you the coin...what is the point of his business. Either way, 2 feather buffalos supposedly carry approximately 15-20% premiums over the same coin without the abraded die issue. I have attempted to advertise some 2-feather buffalos in the past and have never been able to get anyone to pay me anything extra for them. There is a small market for them, but it is very hard to find such a buyer. A P-minted 1921 2 feather in only G-VG I wouldn't even attempt to put up for sale on ebay. My guess is it would sell for $1.50-$2 if I made a real auction. There would always be the possibility of two bidders going head to head and it somehow goes for $10, but I wouldn't want to lose money the other 9/10 times shipping it, so I wouldn't even try and sell it...it would go into my bulk bin.

harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 06:44 am Thanks For the reply. I'm glad to hear that I didn't lose anything by not buying it. Dealer had it marked $2 and I offered him $1. First time a dealer ever refused to sell me a coin and I know all of the local dealers well.... No use in chasing 2 feather nickels if I can't profit from cherrypicking them. Report this Post to the Staff

harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 9:20 pm I saw the dealer and the coin today at the local coin show. It was still there with a price tag of $2 I decided not to buy it. I might change my mind if I see it again at the next show in a few weeks... Report this Post to the Staff
harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 9:13 pm I probably will see the dealer and the coin this coming weekend at the local coin show. I might just pick it up for $2, but then again I might not.... Report this Post to the Staff
