never heard of this variety:
"1917 S
Buffalo nickel PCGS VF 35 Two Feathers Rare Variety Coin
This coin has a sharp strike on both sides with nearly a full defined horn on the reverse. What makes this coin so valuable is that it is the rare two feather variety on the obverse. If you look behind the Indians' neck on the obverse you will see that he is missing a feather. A very tough variety coin to find in such decent condition"
